    SPAMfighter
    SPAMFighter is well suited when you don't want to get unwanted and annoying emails where you didn't sign up. It is also useful in scanning attachments and making sure that the files you download via your email are safe to use. It is not suitable as the only Antivirus, and I would recommend having a backup Antivirus installed in your system (which is what we do).

    Pros
    Open Source
    • An instant scan of file level downloads so that introduction of a variant file is limited before the scan engine clears it.
    • Dashboard use of the agents available allows for near real-time review and action without directed access to the station.

    Cons
    Open Source
    • Dashboard refresh when you have over 100 end agents can be lagging at times
    • The agent install process has potential to hang without alert or warning unless your paying attention through the complete install
    • The silent install process can be problematic when dealing with large-scale networks with varied OS models
