Viruses are a mostly Windows problem. By mentioning NortinAV, I assume you are looking for real-time scanning software. This is not required on unix platforms.

If what you are after is virus scanners for mail, clamav is an excellent product and very easy to install/configure. And developers are constantly updating their package. Support is pretty good, also.
