Recommended Antivirus scanners

[Danita Zanre]

I had the opposite experience lately. Clamd was causing excessive delays in email, so I switched to sophos. It’s detecting viruses, and has been a bit of a pain because I’ve not found a reliable way to white list password protected files for some of my users and it blocks all of those requiring individual whitening for now while I learn what the heck it is I’m doing. I feel like we suddenly get more spam though, because I suspect that clamd was marking some phishing types of spam as viruses that sophos does not.

I added the free version of Sophos to Mailscanner, and apart from causing my CPU usage to skyrocket, it doesn’t seem to detect anything.  Do you have any recommendations on what are the most effective antivirus scanners to run in conjunction with Clam ? Is anyone running several scanners simultaneously ?
