Hello all

I`m looking for an antivirus-scanner, i used mwav, but i need also
other suggestins if such a thing exist.
The point is, i dont want an antivirus software, i want just a
scanner, no more.
On the other hand, as topic says, if there exist an open-source AV
would be nice too, maybe it can be changed to scan only.
Thanks in advance

You didn't mention which operating system you are using, but you may
take a look at ClamAV (http://www.clamav.net/), the Windows port
(http://www.clamwin.com/), or the MacOS X port
(http://www.markallan.co.uk/clamXav/).

To my knowledge they only scan when you request them to, though there
are libraries you can get in order to have real-time scanning with
ClamAV.
