And noone mentioned Clam AntiVirus (http://clamav.elektrapro.com/)

It's in the ports - I 'discovered' it a few days ago and have been
playing around with it. It is GPLed code, promises up to date virus
databases, provides a daemon that automatically downloads signed
updates over the net, and is quite fast. They're working on a
sendmail-milter currently, I'd like to try that some time.

Considering the cost of the alternatives, this is the only option
I can consider. Has anyone tried it?
