From: "Glenn Meadows" 

AVAST is what our mail server uses/is integrated into the base scanning
hooks.  I've got it set to check for updates once every hour (24 times per
day).  I think the initial purchase for the mail server version was about
250.00, and renewals are less (not at the renewal time yet, so we'll see
what it costs ).
