Even more expensive. (There is no competitive OSS virus-scanner as
far as I know. All the others are either lame or abandoned.)

He did. I did. (And politely.) And a bunch of people on the list
(not ONE of whom is a ClamAV developer, AFAIK) attacked our position.
The one person who responded who *is* a developer very politely asked
me to open a bug on bugzilla, and I did so. So I have great faith
that the ClamAV developers are more level-headed than the people on
this list who have been shouting at us for suggesting an improvement.
