You can chain any anti-virus software acting as a HTTP proxy with 
Squid.

MARA Systems AB is also developing an ICAP patch for Squid-2.5 which 
will allow ICAP integration with anti-virus software and other 
content-inspection/modification engines. Please contact 
[EMAIL PROTECTED] if you are interested in this, or wait until 
the new ICAP support is publically released. 

Note: There is another ICAP patch available from 
http://devel.squid-cache.org/icap/. However, this patch is not really 
suitable for use in a general purpose proxy, more as a proof of 
concept for ICAP. This older ICAP patch should work great in reverse 
proxy setups, but will not work well for virus scanning.
