There's also the whole business of efficiency.

The main sources of infected files for me is through e-mail (received
many here) with a distant following through downloads (not yet
received an infected file here) and through files on floppies handed
to me (again never received infected file here).

Instead of running the real-time scanner, I use the plugin for mail
and the hook to check downloads with an antivirus that my download
manager provides.

With this arrangement, the checking only occurs when needed. This is
more efficient than having a real-time scanner checking files on the
system all the time.

I used to be a real-time scanner advocate but I've since changed my
opinion. ;)
