[olug] Virus/spam filtering recommendations?

[Lou Duchez]

I don't trust ClamAV to catch everything; all I'm hoping for is that it 
will catch some viruses.  Basically, I want it to serve as a line of 
defense, not as the complete defense solution.

For Windows use I wholeheartedly recommend VIPRE as solid anti-virus / 
anti-malware protection.  Apparently VIPRE does things that ClamAV 
wouldn't even be able to, such as run applications in a sandbox to test 
their behavior.
