I'm not familiar with the specific product... but wouldn't it be much
better just to keep up to date on patching your server? In the event of a
new work virus definitions wouldn't be out and update for at -least- a few
hours at which point it could very well be too late. In the case of Nimda
the first report I saw of it was on BugTraq at 1pm EST, the virus was
first spotted at 9:08 EST and by 1pm I had already received well over a
thousand hits from infect machines.
Besides, it only spots known worms and virri anyhow. It won't stop a
random script kiddie from trying a three month old exploit on your machine
and getting through.
