Hmm. OK. That price is less than 1/4 of the best price I was ever able 
to determine for Sophos _or_ McAfee. Nice.

Frankly, though, I see a virus scanner as a less and less useful tool. 
With the rapid release of new virus variants, I'm relying almost totally 
on attachment blocking and quarantining, with virus scanning as a safety 
measure and as something to stop macro viruses. ClamAV seems to do that 
job quite nicely.

If they'd only offered me a decent price in the first place, I'd 
probably be using their software today.
