We are also using Antigen and it DEFINITELY ROCKS!!! We previously had McAfee installed on the Exchange box. Before removing McAfee we ran a complete scan and had it "clean" the server. We installed Antigen, ran the scan, and found 800 viruses that McAfee had missed. I think you'll be very satisfied with the product.

Here we use Antigen and it's super--it's an Exchange server only product and it rocks!!!! I am not sure there is an issue using two different virus products. I'd be interested to see what others have to say.
