Hmm, the only license I see for this came from filescanlinux.tar/license.txt
looks like it permits both commercial and educational use, *and* it explitly
allows both businesses and educational institutions to distribute the
software internally:

1.  LICENSE GRANT. Upon your acceptance of this Agreement, Trend Micro
Incorporated ("Trend") grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right to
reproduce and use the SOFTWARE in executable object code form only on
computers.

This license to use the SOFTWARE is conditioned upon your compliance with
the
terms of this Agreement. You agree you will only copy the SOFTWARE into any
machine-readable or printed form as necessary to use it in accordance with
this
license or for backup purposes in support of your use of the SOFTWARE. You
may
not modify or distribute the SOFTWARE (except if you are a business or
educational institution, you may distribute the SOFTWARE internally with a
copy
of this Agreement at no charge for your business'/educational institution's
internal use).  This license is effective until terminated. You may
terminate it
at any time by destroying the SOFTWARE together with all copies of the
SOFTWARE.

Also, TREND has the option to terminate this Agreement if you fail to comply
with any term or condition of this Agreement. You agree upon such
termination to
destroy the SOFTWARE together with all copies of the SOFTWARE.

Trophie & Virge are happily GPL licensed.

Hello,
Try this link:
http://download.mks.com.pl/pobierz.html?show=Pobierz&program=MkS_Vir+dla+Linuksa+Beta
If I remeber correctly the license You can use this even for commercial 
(scan incoming e-mail),  but dont scan the host with instelled Windows 
(over samba etc.).
