I'm a rather large proponent of ClamAV.  They've always seemed to have 
anti-virus definitions up to date rather quickly, which is less than i 
can say for corporate editions of norton.  The W32.Beagle.AO@mm worm 
didn't have a correct catch or fix until the day after it was out.  The 
original revision released maybe 9 or so hours after the worm made 
decent progress didn't work.  Keep in mind, I'm not dogging on Norton.  
It's by far one of my favorite av's to run in winbloze machines.

<Sales Pitch>Either way, for ClamAV, you'd figure if it's good enough 
for the SourceForge.net
mail servers that it's probably good enough for home users.</Sales Pitch>
