By some accountings (

<http://www.virusbtn.com/news/2008/09_02>

), Avira/Antivir is one of the better if not best virus/Trojan signature
scanners out there.

1. It provides transparent on-access scanning. You stipulate which
directories should be considered, and it monitors them. Much easier,
IMHO, than fooling with agents and servers.

2. In addition to Windows signatures and heuristics, it includes
hundreds of Linux/Unix Trojan, rootkit, and virus signatures - so I also
scan user directories where browsers and mail clients work, and work
directories where stuff is downloaded and compiled.

3.  It is remarkably easy to install - a script both installs the
scanner, and optionally builds the kernel module (dazuko) required to do
the on access scanning.
