I see no need to use an antivirus program with eCS. I do suggest that you only
receive email in "text" mode only, not in HTML mode. In fact I took the
antivirus programs off of my wife's Windows computer because it always was
getting in the way and it is behind a firewall. I installed Fire Fox and
Polarbar and set Polarbar to receive email in text mode and do not worry about
viruses.
