We are using FProt and ClamAV with MXguard. It is a very effective package.
With the spike in Virus activity last week and this week, we stopped over
2500 viruses from getting to our users. ClamAV and FProt had the definitions
out a day before Symantec had the fix release. I wouldn't think of paying
for AV from IpSwitch with the available solutions that are more effective.

Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] Expiring AV - Mandatory upgrade to ICS
We use a combination of MxGuard and ClamAV on the actual server, and
Brightmail Anti-spam on the frontend, which runs Symantec AV which is
updated something like every hour. We got a decent pricing arrangement
because we renewed our client AV at the same time.
Before we went with Brightmail, we stopped something like 300-400 viruses a
day with just the ClamAV package, we didn't have a single virus slip through
in 8 months.

Subject: [IMail Forum] Expiring AV - Mandatory upgrade to ICS
Hello all...
I wanted to get your thoughts on a situation I am having with IP Switch,
along with a recommendation on AV products.
We currently run IMail 8.05 at a school, and it runs perfectly for what we
need. Our AV is expiring, and IP Switch is telling us that they will no
longer supply an AV renewal, and to maintain our AV protection, we will need
to go to the ICS (mucho $$$$$). We feel this is incredibly bogus, as we are
satisfied with the product we have now, and all we want to do is upgrade our
AV patterns.
I have spoken with IPSwitch, and they are telling me 'this is the way it
is'. I wanted to hear from others their experiences and thoughts.
To get around this, we are thinking about integrating a third party AV with
our MX Guard SPAM filter. It integrates with FPROT, CLAM, and NAI. I
wanted to get some opinions and experiences with others who have utilized
this method, and what AV they felt was best.
Thanks for your time,
TN
