If it is of interest, GFI (www.gfi.com) mail & download security packages offer multiple virus engine scanning (NAI, kaspersky, bitdefender and something else), within one product. Not really that expensive, and sems to work well enough.

	The Pentgon uses a solution that scan everything with multi-engines. We
	looked into getting it, but it is pretty costly.

	The last two companies I have worked for, one a Fortune 500 company, the
	other a smallish science company, both use multiple products.
	
	One uses Symantec on the Windows servers and McAfee on the Windows
	workstations and Clam on the Linux servers and workstations.
	
	The other uses Clam on its Linux servers and Panda on its Windows
	servers and workstations.
	
	Of course, that hasn't completely stopped virus outbreaks, just because
	there's no way that new definitions can be rolled out quickly enough. As
	you might expect, Windows laptops were the main culprits. But I have
	seen Linux viruses and breakins as well as Windows hacks too. And please
	don't say that the IT wasn't doing its job. As long as you have an
	internet presence you are a target, and none of the products are 100%
	secure ... Cisco anyone?
	
	So there you go. My two Euros worth.
	
	Does anyone remember the AV scanner that came with MS-DOS6? Haha
