Mailscanner is free but the virus engines aren't.  You will still need a
licensed version of McAfee, Sophos, F-Prot, or whatever virus package you
decide to use.  Unfotunately, most of these packages are targetted at
corporations and don't have an affordable price for small users.  I'm not
sure what your appication is?

F-Prot will allow their package to be used for free on linux systems for
personal/hobby use.  Business use requires a license.
