We use Antigen, and one of the scan engines we use is NAI, the other being Sophos. 
Having used Groupshield in the past I would normally agree that it's best not to use 
NAI products, but I have to say that the NAI scan engine works really well within 
Antigen, better, in fact than it does in Groupshield. For one thing the automatic 
updates always work, and for another Sybari seems to enhance the dat files by adding 
in extra.dats that normal NAI users don't get.

One thing that's nice about the multiple scan engines, aside from the sheer number of 
engines, is that you also get some geographical distribution in the sources for your 
dat files. Since viruses can appear pretty much anywhere, this gives you a better 
chance that at least one of your scan engines will get an early critical update.

Kaperski's mailing list is pretty interesting. It's usualy worth getting your support 
id on several virus mailing lists so that you have some idea what's out there before 
it's reported on news.bbc.co.uk
