Antivirus solutions

[Mark Blackman]

As an ex-Sophos employee,  I'm obliged to mention that they 
do a FreeBSD product. I think the Sophos engine is quite
efficient and a good fit with the Unix approach. Only problem
is that Sophos tend to be a bit expensive. The evaluation
download is completely functional, so you have ample opportunity
to evaluate it before purchasing anyway.
