I've given kudos to McAfee on the list before, I think. We run their FreeBSD version on multiple machines, scanning e-mail, and love it. The licensing in our scenario was extremely cheap, with support/updates. As for trust - I trust them because they are a big name in A/V software (with a few others that I trust). I trust that I will get timely DAT updates because there are people that take a paycheck to actually do so. I trust them enough to run a pre-compiled binary as root, and on my network that's a lot of trust.

What's that squeaking sound? And how did you book Mark Knofler?" Then you go downstairs, with half your shirt buttons undone, and the other half off-by-two, and have to get rid of her.
