Larry,

Take a look at ClamAV (it's free) and will run on Windows and OS X machines.
Don't think there are too many people out there writing virii for OS 9, so
not sure I would even worry about them. <http://www.clamav.net/>

Another option, though Windows only, is F-Prot by Frisk. Minimum is 20
licenses, but at $2 each it is a good deal. Very reliable, we use it
exclusively for our Windows machines and for scanning our email, haven't had
a problem. <http://www.f-prot.com/products>

Hopefully this will help.

Regards,

-Don
