Weird, we noticed that it was updating it's definitions faster than the
commercial one we used. It was already blocking at ISP level, where the
home users did not have an update yet. :-)

No, that was exactly where I ran into problems, it was the same port
(FreeBSD). And that did not work anymore at that time with OpenBSD.
Checked the site several times, but no updates. Anyway, antivir is free
of charge for the home user, and one cannot really complain to the
manufacturer if it does not work.

We agree to disagree here. At ISP level we use clamav, numerous domains
and 100.000's of users can be handled with clamav, and that at (it's
amazing Mike!) $ 0. One of the additional complaints I had about
antivir was that it was not exactly fast. AFAIK clamav is faster,
especially since one can have it communicate on sockets instead of ip,
but I did not benchmark antivir. Given the budget we simply cannot
afford to use a commercial antivirus.
