When I used AVG it was consistantly in the back of the pack for virus detections.
It lagged so badly at the beginning of the encrypted zip days, that I had to swap it out with Clam.
It had pretty good scanning times.
 
I use FProt, Clam AV as a service and Mcafee VirusScan.
From a cost perspective ClamAV is free, and if you can find someone to sell you the command line VirusScan, it should be under $30 a year.
 
I use a real-time Virus scanner of Symantec. I'd really recommend a different vendor as a real-time a/v to provide another level of security.

Subject: [Declude.Virus] AVG

I am looking for a new virus scanner for my Windows 2003 server and was wondering what all of thought about AVG. This is both a web server and my mail server (imail) and I would be looking at it to be both my full-time file scanner and act as a secondary Declude scanner (I already am running F-Prot). If you like it and would recommend it, which version do you use? Would it be the file server edition?
 
Thanks,
 
Dean
