Good engines, which we have used in the past and would recommend are:

- Avira SAVAPI
- avast!
- Sophos

Reasons we think they are good:

- Fast
- Efficient
- Low False-Positive rate
- Low impact on system (they don't install a pletora of additional software)
- Good support

We tested and used others as well, but to they were crappy, instable and/or
the vendor left the UNIX market. Some didn't seem to be trustworthy enough to
let them handle our customers data.
