TrendMicro's ScanMail for Exchange, is one of the best out there. About $20/mailbox.
Sybari's AntiGen is the best at about $25/mailbox.
Personally use ScanMail and works great, causes very little performance issues, is very configurable (has a feature to block certain attachments by name or extension), and Trend has been very good about DAT updates.
AntiGen is even a little better on performance, and all the same features, but a little harder to find through resellers.

Any virus scan software that uses an AVAPI process to scan. Trend Micro's ScanMail has this capability.
AVAPI scanning is good because it scans before the messages are committed to the information store.
Traditional MAPI based scan solutions can only scan the mailboxes after the message has been committed to the IS. This creates problems when messages are still being sent and received and sitting in the transaction logs.
