I just took a like at File::Scan, but their site does not list
FreeBSD as supported system; only Linux. :(

ClamAV, which I am now testing, works as advertised. But I read
you get a "ClamAV installation is OUTDATED" message whenever
the update program decides you need a newer version.
This will run on a production server; I cannot halt things every
week to upgrade clamav. Still, clamav seems the most
promising so far.

Thanks,

upgrading from FreeBSD ports takes only a small numbers of minutes ( 3 from the 82 -> 83 upgrade i made on a 800Mhz, 2go ram freebsd 4.x box) so i think you could manage to put this into a "not too loaded" windows quite easely. At least if not on a very higly loaded server. The second solution is perhaps to run the clamd on different sockets then the restart of mimedefang could make the switch, after that you uninstall the old version . But this way require some tweaks as the ports will not let you install without uninstalling the old version first. The package runs fine, it's just that when they change the format of the virus DB that you really need to run and upgrade the daemon, minor upgrade does not REQUIRE the update, it's just better for your safety or the perf depending of what the upgrade answer to. :)

best regards,
