As francois said, pretty much a waste of time "unless" you are using it as an e-mail gateway in which case I use Clamav on our department e-mail server. So far has nearly completely stopped viruses from getting to our user machines. Actually I don't remember when the last time was a virus got through my front line defenses. BTW Clamav is open source (free) with auto-update service.

As for spam (server side) I use Mailscanner which integrates a spam filter engine with Clamav.
