I was hoping somebody could point me in the correct direction in regards to an open source network wide antivirus solution. I am not concerned with email as we already have virus security in place for that. I am more concerned with virus security for an entire network block. I was thinking of implenting some type of NAT so all traffic from this particular network will go through one machine. What would you recommend to monitor traffic on this machine? Would a client side AV solution be wiser? If so, anything that can be remotely administered?
ClamAV appears to be geared towards email scanning. Is it possible to scan all network traffic with ClamAV? All of the modules appear to be for scanning email and I didn't see mention of scanning all traffic through the gateway.
you can even use it with commercial anti-virus products such as McAfee...

look a little harder, there's lots of options for doing this... there's even a few big corporations that have included clamav in their network appliances and made millions of dollars with it...
