Actually I'm surprised. I had installed the command line scanner, too, a
while back, but it was slow. And it seemed to consume lots of resources
in memory.
I had ordered the scanners like so:
first File::Scan(), then McAfee
and McAfee _never_ found a virus! It did, when I reversed the processing
order, so I'm certain the scanner and stuff were working.
Do you catch virii with McAfee, that slipped through the other scanners?
