        Spaghetti gets high marks as well, although I've never deployed it.
Instead, I use a WebRamp IP "appliance." <http://www.rampnet.com>

        I recommend and use Sophos SWEEP <http://www.sophos.com>, since it can
detect Mac virii on the server. It's expensive, but it works well. They
have a Mac client available; plus they are in a final beta for a Mac
standalone version. HOWEVER, I still put the freeware WormFood in the
Startup Items folder of every PowerPC Mac & clone as a quick extra check.

        Cheers!
