IF you have an ESXi server available I would use SPAMTITAN. It's a good product and for a good price.
Microsoft Antigen is the best protection!
The best spam product I have come across in terms of Performance and Price is Vamsoft ORF - www.vamsoft.com. It is only a 4Mb program and costs $239 per server.
In terms of Anti-Virus - use Microsoft's Free one - Microsoft Security Essentials. That's very cheap!

Personally I like an outside 3rd party service http://www.exchangedefender.com/
Nothing is installed on the server
it acts as a smart host eliminating the risk of being blacklisted
it filters the e-mail before reaching your server guaranteeing no viruses
filters spam on two levels; guaranteed spam, suspected spam
archives ALL e-mail for 1 year
makes E-mail access possible if your server is offline
provides 7 day backup of e-mail if off line and forwards to your server as soon as on line
cost about 2-3$/mailbox/month
