I need some style of antivirus for sharepoint, mainly for scanning any uploaded user documents.

Is there anything (cheap) available out there that you have used before? I contacted our regular anti-malware company and they quoted us at $40,000 for our 4 sharepoint servers..

Can you define cheap (40k sounds pretty cheap to me) and what vendor(s) you've already contacted about pricing? – Zypher♦ Jul 21 '10 at 0:35
A suitable price range would be below 10K, I've contacted Mcafee about it only so far. I would like other peoples advice on who would be the best choice to contact next. – Thankfulprofesser Jul 21 '10 at 0:43
doesn't MS's forefront work with sharepoint? I'm sure it wouldn't be 40k and would actually work unlike mcafee. – tony roth Jul 21 '10 at 1:01

Microsoft Forefront Security for Sharepoint: ~$1200 per Internet-Facing Server

I have to find the per-user SKUs (for Intranet sites), but I know it's $7.20 per user + some amount for the server.

Sounds nice, I have to contact a supplier but this is per server license or per user? The amount of users numbers in the tens of thousands so any user based license isn't feasible. – Thankfulprofesser Jul 21 '10 at 1:54
You have to contact a provider. Your exact price will depend on the license agreement; unfortunately it's very different for every level. – Chris S♦ Jul 21 '10 at 2:36
