Squid javascript activex virus

Hi,

I want to build up a proxy cache solution for a small company with 7
clients. They want that the proxy filters Javascript, ActiveX and
Viruses in downloads.

1. I looked around in the web and I have found viralator. It checks
Files for viruses. Is that viralator good or is there better software?

2. squid for caching.

3. squidguard to have a nice control over URL's

4. privoxy (junkbuster) for javascript and activex. Does it really
filter active-x? The only hint I have found is:
http://groups.google.de/group/spline...58c8abc5a361b2
Another thing would be squid-filter from
http://sites.inka.de/sites/bigred/de...id-filter.html
But I am not sure if they are really stable or in productive use by
now?

My favourite operating system is Debian Sarge...

Has anyone experience with such a setup? Any hints about the best way?

Thanks

Never used.

Works great, outperforms commercial products easily.

IIRC dansguard has even more/better capabilities and great
performance with a large amount of clients.

Never heard.

I'd strongly recommend using some browser with more security like
mozilla/firefox. Same is true for mail, if you use the hazardous
combination of IE + Outcrap, problems are very likely to happen.
It's just like asking for them.

Good luck
