If everything else fails then you still got the backups to restore the sites.I really like the idea of the antivirus plugin to scan the template files for signs of malicious content especially the function to send out an email message when a possible infection is discovered.Antispam Bee works pretty well, as good as Akismet I would say. While you might be right that you save a bit of resources as Akismet processes the comments and pings on their server you do loose a bit because of the connections that have to be established. And it is also better for the privacy of your users as no data is being submitted to third party servers.
