Hi Kenneth,

You might want to go further that simply virus scan,  Since your already
forwarding trafic to a man in the middle srever to virus scan.  Maybe you
should take a look at Content Security products, such as "MIMEsweeper".
This product will not only do virus scanning but also content filtering on
emails, URL's, etc.

The site is www.mimesweeper.com

Ron,

Hi everybody
I know that this is an issue that there has been a lot of talk about the
last 6 months, and here we go again.
I am wondering if any of you have any good experiences with
antivirus-scanning at the firewalls (seperate machine on DMZ performing
scanning)? What products are you using, and what are the products we should
consider?
We have been testing, so far, F-Secure AntiVirus for Firewalls and Trend
InterScan Viruswall. F-Secure is great on detection, but the management is
poor. Trend is not very good on detection but then again pretty good on
management.
Have a nice day
