I don't know how much you can use LARTC for this particular end, but you
can setup a deny-by-default firewall that will help already infected
machines from getting out to the rest of the world.
You might look at securing your apps on a more specific level, such as
scanning/filtering your e-mail and web downloads. This is accomplished
with mail/spam scanning software that has an antivirus engine integrated
with the mail server to detect spam and virii, along with web proxy
caching software that also has an antivirus engine integrated to scan
all incoming content. You might also add an Intrusion Detection System
to your firewall. Note, the more you add, the better machine you will
need to have (processor and RAM, especially).
The company I work for has worked on integrating antivirus support into
DansGuardian in order to allow for scanning all incoming web content for
virii. We also use MailScanner/SpamAssassin.
