I'm currently using McAfee under Linux. It works fairly good (funny enough
it's easer to download it than to find somebody to pay for it..:-).

Somebody told me that also Dr Salomon have one such antivirus but I was not
able to find it. If anybody have a pointer I would appreciate to have it.

I'm also using a script that is called from procmail to check attached files. I
found this script on the net. Should anybody want it, I can ship it (after
checking with the author, but I believe there would be no problem).

The only thing I couldn't manage to do is to check for boot sector virus on
floppy, McAfee under Linux only seem to check for viruses in files. And again
I couldn't get back answers from McAfee on this question.
