I really haven't heard of these products before you posted but I after quick
Google search I found them . I coudn't find information about what antivirus
it uses but if it is OneCare's engine , then you'd better stay away from it
:-)

Microsoft are really good at some things but their AV definitely sucks.

Antigen works very well at what it does. It uses multiple scanners from
several different AV vendors to secure Exchange and SharePoint servers.

http://www.microsoft.com/antigen/prodinfo/what-is-antigen.mspx

It is not an AV solution for clients or even servers. It scans
incoming/outgoing mail and also SharePoint databases. It is part of
Forefront which is a total enterprise wide security solution.

http://www.microsoft.com/forefront/2006/prodinfo/overview.mspx

Not all of Forefront is currently available. I think some of it is still in
beta.

You should contact several of the antivirus vendors before you make a
decision. There is a wide range of pricing options and features from many
different companies. Only you can decide which is best for your needs. I
have only tested Antigen in a test lab situation. It seemed to work well. I
tested it with an Exchange server. If you are using a different mail server
you should contact both Microsoft and the developer of your mail server to
see if it's compatible.
