We use a Barracuda model 400 for our antivirus and have had it for
probably 6 years or so. It is very inexpensive but we kinda got what we
paid for. Don't get me wrong, it has gotten the job done, but a few of
the firmware updates we applied caused some problems and we do not use
Exchange so we can't take easily take advantage of their LDAP
Accelerator feature (which ties all of your email aliases into one
quarantine account). They are coming out (or have already come out) with
a virtual appliance version so if we stick with the Barracuda we'll
probably move to that.
