Gauntlet includes McAfee Web Scan in the Firewall. (Remember the
question about letting ActiveX content in?  Don't decide whether or
not ALL ActiveX content should be let in or out --- SCAN IT ON THE WAY
IN!!) This is single vendor protection, not "a third party plug in". 
This is NOT a plug, simply fact  I would like to understand what the
perspective is from the forum regarding this solution as well as
others.    BTW, I completely agree with others in the group that a
firewall is extremely important for perimeter defense, but if you are
worried about packet filtering not being overly trustworthy, why not
use stateful inspection AND packet filtering for the appropriate mix
of security and speed?
Comments?

They also recommend using MIMEsweeper
