Norton AntiVirus doesn't allow their command line scanner (the piece that 
Declude uses) to be used by automated programs.  They have it set up so 
that if run in an automated environment, it will always report that no 
virus was found (even if one was found).

The type of scanner that Norton AntiVirus does have that works in an 
automated environment (an on-access scanner) will delete the file if it 
finds a virus, and Declude can then assume that that means that Norton 
found a virus.  You can set up Norton AntiVirus using this on-access 
scanner, but we haven't yet been able to do the extensive testing necessary 
to make sure it is completely reliable (although we expect that it 
is).  The problem is that there is a chance that Norton could skip a file 
if it takes too long to scan (it has a small time slice in which to scan 
the file, but we haven't been able to verify that it will prevent access to 
the file if it can't finish scanning in that time slice).

Most of our customers are using F-Prot ( http://www.f-prot.com ), which has 
proven to be very reliable, or McAfee's NetShield or VirusScan 
products.  We also have a number of customers using Sophos, Kaspersky, 
Norman, and a few others.
