Sophos, McAffe and AVP products are (AFAIK) all file oriented virus scanners. Interscan Virus Wall is specificaly designed to scan for viruses in HTTP, FTP and SMTP communication in "realtime". It acts as HTTP and FTP proxy and as SMTP relay. For sure you can build this functionality with file oriented scanner but it is not trivial (especially in the case of HTTP and Trendmicro did quite good job here). I would definitely like to hear from somebody who has build virus scanning HTTP and/or FTP proxy on top of AVP, Sophos or McAffee products or managed to run Interscan Virus Wall on FreeBSD. Anybody?
