What is it you want to scan on the proxy?

I don't see the use of a scanner on a proxy myself. Files which you
download can not be scanned until they are downloaded completely and
then they are on the client allready anyway.
As for HTML/Javascript threads, I don't know how much you encounter
them, but I hardly do.

For me, the neccesary anti-viurs places are, the mail gateway and the
clients.

Hello,

I have unsuccesfully tried to install Squirm/Virulator/Sophos
Antivirus
(Squid is working nice).
Not I am asking for technical support, but only want to know if you
think an
antivirus should be installed on the Proxy or just on the clients.
I need arguments to convince my boss to keep the proxy as light as
possible
=)

Cheers,
