Are multiple scanners run in series or concurrently? They are run in series. Since the virus scanners typically use up as close to 100% of the CPU time that they are given, if we switched to running them in parallel, an improvement would only be shown on servers with multiple processors.

Scott, I have had at times, with both scanners (up to date sig files, both catching mydoom) taking a pounding (we are getting mydoom.a in 1 every second), when Scanner1 (f-prot) would pick up the virus and Scanner2 (InoculateIT) would not show anything, and at other times Scanner1 would

Scott, During virus outbreaks like this one, having the second scanner not run when the first detects a virus would be a big processing saver. My server was probably averaging about 5 times the normal processing load in the last 3 days, catching a virus on average about 1.5 times a minute.

Re: [Declude.Virus] Multi-scanner Question

2004-01-30 Thread R. Scott Perry
The best of both worlds approach would be to allow for a switch, SKIPIFFOUND ON. Removing the second scanner isn't a good option as variants can come at any time and both F-Prot and AVG lagged badly on picking up both Mimail.s and MyDoom.b. We will look into adding an option like this.
