[Macpartners] Virex and Tiger

[David Steffens]

I just recently read a rave review about this AV package for Mac OS X,
but I don't know anything about it from personal experience. Apparently,
the underlying AV engine, ClamAV, is becoming quite popular on Linux.

   ClamXav - The FREE Virus Scanner for Mac OS X

Anyone have any experiences to relate, either good or bad? (I'm mainly
interested in how well it handles MS macro viruses, e.g. Word and Excel.)
