I'd recommend against this. Truth is, it's not enough protection.
GroupShield, the av pience in AVD for Exchange, misses a significant
number of viruses even with the latest engine and virus defs.

I prefer a multi-engine product for Exchange - something that will scan
each message a couple of times to help ensure anything that gets into
the store is clean. GFI's MailSecurity fits the bill, and at a fair
price as well. By default MS ships with two engines, and you can add up
to two more (McAfee is one of them actually, and Kaspersky is the
other). While you are at it, buy MS with it's sister product
MailEssentials, that does a really good job of blocking spam.

Now you can choose the NAI VirusScan Suite which ships with VirusScan
for the desktop and NetShield for file level protection at the server,
or one of the other products available such as offerings from Symantec
or Trend.

If you have any questions about the GFI products, feel free to contact
me off list. I'll do my best to help out.
