I'm using NAI for Solaris. This is the McAfee virusscanner.

Don't ask me for the price, I'm just a system manager. I care about bits
and bytes, not about dollars (euro's here in Belgium)
The packet we had buy (believe me, it's not easy to find out what to buy
if you only want this virus scanner) was "McAfee Virusscan security suite"
I wrote a script to check for an update for the virusscanner each hour.

Until now, I haven't found any virusses passing through the virusscanner.

This is the update log for the virus data file :
it seems to be updated every week, sometimes more often.
