Seems like they could send an SNMP trap to another computer and have it do the scan

good luck! my understanding is that the operating system
the NetApp uses
is too lean to support virus scanning on-access.

Am I wrong? These all seem to be for virus scanning of
files going to
or from the internet. Are there any plans for some sort of on-access file scanning? We have virus scanning on the workstations, but we like to have double protection in case a computer slips through, or someone's virus
definitions don't
get updated.
