I have a friend who runs Clam Antivirus on his e-smith box and he swears
by it! In fact, he's turning off Norton AV on his WinXP box (where he
reads the email served up by the e-smith box) because no more virus
infected emails get through. I've yet to try to install it for myself
so this is second-hand testamony.
