Would someone be able to help me figure out how to use the definitions given by sanesecurity (http://sanesecurity.com/) for ClamAV? These definitions are supposed to improve the poor detection rate of clamav. I am a little unsure of how to utilize them. Thanks for your help.

YMMV and at your own risk as usual since these are all 3rd party stuff.
What would you recommend? I have files that get transferred from machine to machine, including Windows, as a normal part of the day. I don’t want to pass along infected files, but clamav has a pretty poor record of detecting infected files. I further don’t want to use a proprietary antivirus, installing that on my computer. What is your suggestion for how I should proceed?
Sophos Antivirus has a free version for Linux that even has on demand scanning, take a peek at it?

I run it on a mail server (42.2) happily using ClamAV+Avast+Sophos to scan all incoming / outgoing mail.
