Security
Is there a possibility of installing anti-virus software at the proxy server.
i am thinking of a solution whereby viruses (mostly from email externally hosted) halt at the proxy before it reaches the end-users.
Can anybody help?

How about a firewall anti virus. zone alarm is free and it filters attachments. why are you using a proxy? Are you on DSL Dial up
T1?

ISP SMTP server.
Connection is made to the POP server to retrieve Internet emails. People get email attachments everyday and some contain viruses. We had several cases of mass infection due to this.
Some users just can't be bothered to update their anti-virus definition files.
I am planning to setup MS Proxy soon and am wondering if incorporating anti-virus s/w will slow down the server.

Yes there are products that can provide this, in addition to offering greater security/control features than those offered by Proxy Server. For one, checkout Tumbleweed's MMS-Web product. It is a plug-in to the MS-Proxy and provides Virus Scanning, Content Screening, URL Blocking, and Mobile Code controls for both Uploads and Downloads. Here is their URL:

Take a look at Trend Micro, www.antivirus.com They are the leaders in Gateway AV. I have used there products with MS Proxy and they all work well.
Hope this helps
