thebillygoatcurse.com — Because Google has not revealed which company powers their anti-virus service for Gmail, a blogger has taken the challenge of finding out into his own hands. By testing several malware against known databases and against the GMail service, he has determined that Sophos is behind the GMail Anti-virus.

I've already said this twice in comments on Digg. I know the salesman at Sophos that was involved with selling the product to Google.

We use Sophos here and it is a pig (This is a recent development, it was not before) and their email scanner for exchange keeps locking up the server at odd hours. But then again I have yet to meet an AV product that I liked.
