Short answer: installing Virex 7.5, 7.5.1 or 7.6 will muck things up  
with Tiger. Virex 7.7 should be released later this summer and will  
be compatible with Tiger.

It's difficult to recommend going with Virex 7.2.1, since it's quite  
old and lacks many features that make antivirus software useful. It  
will scan a user's home directory for viruses and that's about it.

Since there are zero viruses for Mac OS X and IS&T blocks other types  
of viruses at the e-mail servers, you can probably wait until Virex  
7.7 is released.
