Commercial Antivirus scanner capabilities

[Alex Neuman]

I've personally and subjectively found antispam products from people other
than Julian lacking in almost every respect - from bad default settings to
false positives in ranges too high to work comfortably.

I've also found that ClamAV by itself is very good - and when combined with
one (or more, if hardware allows) commercial engines you get a very thin
additional layer of protection that's not bad, but the licensing has to be
really cheap in order to get a reasonable ROI.
