So right now if you use multiple scanners when you scan with ScannerA
and it finds a virus Declude will still call ScannerB and have it scan
as well?
Scott pointed out that his McAfee was only $11.00 for the year so the
price barrier is "non-existant" and I see from your and Scott's
responses that there are indeed reasons to have more than one scanner.
Thank you all
