I don't know of any UNIX viruses. I don't mean scanning for UN*X viruses, I mean scanning people's e-mails for any Windows 95 / DOS viruses etc. Basically so that people who pick up their mail from us have the reassurances that their e-mail attachments don't contain viruses. Their are products available for NT that do this so I don't see why UN*X wouldn't have a product that does this.
