I'd like to submit this for a Declude Virus feature change:
 
I like having Prescan OFF to provide the maximum amount of protection that I can.
 
I also run 3 virus scanners.
 
I'm wondering if it would possible to migrate the Prescan parameter into the virus engines definitions to turn it on or off for individual engines.
 
I might do this:
SCANFILE1 ...
PRESCAN1 ON
 
SCANFILE2 ...
PRESCAN2 OFF
 
SCANFILE1 ...
PRESCAN3 ON
 
In my case:
Scanner 1. Fprot. No benefit to running with Prescan OFF that I have noticed.
Scanner 2. Clam. Scanner detects some malware and most Phish with Prescan OFF. Good benefits.
Scanner 3. Mcafee. Scanner detects some malware and a few Phish. No real benefit over Clam.
 
I'd see a performance benefit for only having the Prescan OFF option apply to my Scanner 2 and running Scanner 1 and 3 with a Prescan ON setting.
