The trick is to run something like mon or monit (or even a well crafted cron 
script) that checks your critical services and restarts them if they die.

You can also run a second virus scanner for backup. If you use a corporate 
desktop scanner, you might have an entitlement to a commandline scanner that 
is supported by MailScanner.
