I use the spam filtering and it is this that my clients first started
shouting about - spam dropped by around 85 - 90% overnight. One log shows
that for the past 6 months, over 40,000 spam messages have been blocked. I
use spamblocker on my own Edge and haven't had a single spam email come
through in 8 months. The AV scanner is based on Clam AV - I'm not a big fan
of this (I'd like WG to use Kaspersky as do Juniper/Netscreen) but it has
blocked a few viruses so it's doing it's job.

I use GFI Mail Essentials and Security and we kick between 4000 and 7000
messages per day to our business (and we're not a huge shop) and many of
what some would call false positives are due to users not training the
GFI product - and stupid email senders that include spams in their
emails.

Personally I get about 1 or 2 spam a week, and my account has been
online for more than 7 years of posting/emailing with it - GFI works for
me.
