I always used to recommend CA's InnoculateIT, > that is until they started charging for it. There is clamav, which is a GPLed virus scanner. It is available for Linux,maybe it is also available for MS-Windows (it is claimed to be POSIX compliant,so it should be portable). I haven't used it as of yet, so I can't really comment on its speed and quality.
We're using Clam-AV here. We've only been using it for a few weeks with a light load, but so far it's been working just fine, easily dealt with the sobig problem.
