Jim,
We're currently using NAV5 to do this however, we're having to move to Corp. Edition 7.02 because of Windoze 2000, so I'm looking for another command line driven virus scanner that I can use.
On a side note, what are you using to exclude snapshots. My efforts to put ~snapshot in the exclusions have been futile.
Regards, Larry

Larry, we are using NAV50 called from a scheduled nightly batch file in order to skip the snapshot directories.

Just curious if anyone is running a virus scanner against filers for CIFS?

Regular and routine scanning of filer-resident data with a commercial AV scanner is definately a good idea. As you might expect, filers run the company here from the data infrastructure perspective, and our own IT folk implement just such a regimen as a component of that.
Don't forget the "secret" snapshot/snaprestore antivirus weapon though. It's saved a great many people a great deal of grief when viruses hit, including ourselves. Take a look:
