I did not think about the file touches and the multi-engine would make performance a nightmare.

Antigen's architecture isn't well suited to file system scanning, for the simple fact that its not very efficient. Remember, every file touch results in a scan, in general, with file system AV. So the net effect would be a significant slowing of the system were it to present the file to multiple AV scanners at once. Remember, regardless of perception, email isn't a real time medium, so the incremental performance hit incurred by Antigen's architecture isn't relative. -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
