ClamAV, very impressed and thus far reliable, so many keeping it
honest gives one that comfort blanket tingly feeling.
Works for me on my servers (Debian) and the Mac OS X port (ClamXav)
works a treat, very much up to date with its db listing and engine.
Seems to find all files I have tested it with also some emails I was
not aware had it. So, I inadvertently passed these on too others, Woops
Sorry, but now I think I have myself checking all mail through servers
and direct pop access from mailing lists etc. Unfortunately it does not
do Classic or OS9 earlier, but it has usual scheduling systems or can
be cronjobed this is how I used to run it before ClamXav was released.
I do not have OS X servers at my discretion, so cannot confirm it works
as it does for my Debian boxes although one would suspect it does, or
has the possibility to be compiled fairly easily and run as a cronjob,
I do rememember a while back one of the ADC newsletters about this,
will have to track them down and forward on?
Windows has a variant and from people I know are using it they seem to
catch the little buggers before damage can be inflicted. Most ISP's
have some sort of mail scanners sorting their servers a fair proportion
of them use the ClamAV engine as the db source and Download.com use it
as their scanner of choice for the millions of files stored.

This is what I sent to the list on the 25th of January:

While not likely relevant for single platform Macintosh users in this
forum, others might like to know that this is what I install on client
Windows based home machines, much nicer and for home users they cost
nothing:
* AVG (http://www.grisoft.com/)
* AdAware (http://www.lavasoft.de/)
* SpyBot Search & Destroy (http://www.spybot.info/)
I am currently evaluating ClamAV as an Open Source Cross Platform
alternative to AVG.
