It can also be used from the command line to do ad-hoc scanning as and when you need it. You will need to run a client program on the Windows machines to do on-access scanning of local file systems. There are many other solutions - I guess your best bet is to try a few and see how you get on. The appeal of clamav to me is that it is free, and stable.
