I know that at present there are no known viruses for X but having seen the
havoc caused by Bugbear I'd like to be ready should one appear. So what is
the optimum way of setting up Virex with X? It seems to me Virex is an
'after the infection' solution at present as it only scans at login and then
does nothing at all unless you invoke it, so presumably if there were to be
a Bugbear variant for X attached to one of my emails in Entourage neither
Virex nor I would necessarily know I had email infected with it until it
scanned at my next login. (And even then it may not. I've had one of these
attachments and scanned it with Virex and it didn't report anything amiss).
In the meantime of course I could easily have been unfortunate enough to
activate it just by previewing the thing. Or have I missed something? Can I
automate Virex within Terminal or through AppleScript to scan more
pro-actively? Presumably having all attachments saved to one folder, then
setting up a regular scan of this folder is the way to go.

Any advice on this anyone?
