How fast is the scan? What's the algorithm? Does it scan attachments
only? Does it scan the whole attachment, or part(s) of an attachment?
If not a pattern matching algorithm will be implemented, and I doubt,
if it would be fast enough given the number of virus signatures.
Hmmm.. maybe those prominent ones should only be included so as not to
impact performance.
