The only one I'm aware of is AVG Antivirus from Grisoft (www.grisoft.com).  I
used it for a while and have no major complaints.

|Hi
|With the recent epidemic of virusses and worms GFI's 
|announcement of FREE
|antivirus for MS Echange http://www.gfi.com/news/en/msec8freeware.htm
|couldn't have been timed any better.  Having read the announcement I
|contacted the company asking for the catch,  and was told that 
|it is a time
|unlimited version (well for 2 years anyway)  BUT missing some of the
|functionalty of the commercial version.
|
|My questiun to the list is what other FREE quality antivirus 
|tools are there
|out there, I'm particularly looking for the end hosts but may as well
|include other solutions.  I always used to recommend  CA's 
|InnoculateIT,
|that is until they started charging for it.
|
|recommendations ?
