With ClamAV, quarantine (rather than delete) is probably best.  I've
seen various types of false hits.  Overall, ClamAV is quite good.


I use ClamAV with samba-vscan to help protect a few dozen Windows
systems.  When it detects an infected file it denies access and sends a
detailed winpopup message to the client.  I created a cron job to send
the list of infected files to the administrator each day.  That way a
human can decide if the file really is infected.  Most importantly, the
log tells which computer was reading/writing the infected file.
