Stanford uses Sophos for both Macs and PCs, distributing it freely to
all campus affiliates. On Windows platforms, it's both AV and
anti-malware. The Mac version is a good network citizen; it's detects
PC viruses. It also protects Macs against Office macro viruses, and
purports to protect against Trojan horses and worms, pedantics aside.
I would expect it to also protect against future Mac malware.

I would highly recommend interested organizatinos to discus Sophos'
offerings with respresentatives from this company.
