SCANVxx from McAfee, actually NETSCAN will work.  I use it in my backup
batch file to scan the server every night.   Problems can occur on a
NW LAN if an infected workstation logs into a file server and the virus
attacks the files on the server.  This can occur if the infected account
has supervisor privledges, or the .exe or .com files are in an area that
is read/write and the files themselves are read/write.  NW security is
pretty tight when applied properly.
