If you would like to protect Window$ clients from viruses, I do not think that there is a FREE virus scanner that is good enough.
I took a thorough survey some month ago and found that:
- good virus scanners are not free (only for personal use), and
- free virus scanners are not good enough.
However, I could find a free solution named Anomy Sanitizer, which is a flexible and easily configurable e-mail filtering tool, that can be set to
- find and remove (quarantine) executable attachments,
- clean html mails from dangerous tags
- eliminate some other tricks to which unpatched Outlooks are exposed
- scan MSOffice document attachments for macro viruses,
- use optional external virus scanner (if available).
I now use Anomy with satisfaction for 20 mail clients.
