Virus scanning is explicitly called from mimedefang-filter.  If you do 
not ask for it, it will not be performed.  Usual place where it is 
invoked is filter_begin (if you want to scan entire email once, and than 
make accpet/reject decision).  Some people call it from filter and 
filter_multipart instead (if you want to scan each part separately, and 
than only remove infected parts instead of blocking entire email).

So basically, commenting or deleting parts of mimedefang-filter where 
you are checking for viruses should prevent any virus scanning from 
taking place, regardless of values assigned to global variables.
