I agree. Declude AV is solid.
For the corporate mail environment of my clients, it is the perfect
solution. I have the added benefit of telling them I am using TWO separate
scan engines against their mail . I'm currently running F-Prot and and
Mcafee against all SMTP mail traffic with Declude.
The corporate desktop engine is Trend OfficeScan, so in reality their
network is protected by three distinct engines.
I started with just Mcafee, found no measurable impact on performance, then
added F-Prot.
Setup is a 5 minute snap. The developer is responsive and helpful.
