I don,t know how good that one is, but Computer Associates has a free mail checker that works great. It is called MailWatcher.

FreeAV, the homuser free version won't automatically check email, just the version you pay for. Just run the mail through AV before opening attatchments, right click and choose scan with AV.

InoculateIT PE is free and real good from http://antivirus.cai.com it scans attachments when you go to run them, it will prevent you from running it if it is infected. I have tested this with the ECIAR test string and it prevented me from running it.
