Actually, at my small company (of 3 employees) we used Linux on our
desktops.  The only reason we installed clamav or any other av tools on
our 'public facing' EMAIL server was to experiment with it.

That said, I DO recommend running AV software for everyone else I know.

My point was that AV software deals with a symptom--not a root problem.
. . . and here I would repeat my last email which expounds on this.
Please go back and read it if you missed my point the first time around.  ;)
