ViruScan works well, but is always last to update for new viruses and has
a TERRIBLE user interface, esp on the Mac. Virex has been better
recently, hopefully Network Associates will keep Virex better than others
for now.

It seems more people like Virex than any other commercial program right
now...in magazines and such. I don't know if that means its better or not.
