i use antivir from http://www.antivir. its free for personal use, as i
don't like using my brain just to prevent viruses. It is free for personal
use and has license-cost for commercial use. Definitions-Files usually
come out once per day, so i got it before the first doom reached my
mailserver, as you can use it also with amavis vor mailservers. Update is
done automatically and free of charge (for private use)

Antivir is intented to run in a cron job. With the use of dazuko
http://www.dazuko.org you can do online scans of your system, but this
slows your systems not bad...
