CarrierScan for filers provides on-access file scanning with ONTAP 6.1. When a file of a type you specify is accessed by the user, the filer asks a registred virus scanning server to scan the file before the user gets it.
I hope that is what you were thinking of.

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.

That's good, that is what I want. However, that press release leaves a little to be desired, it just says: "enables companies to tightly integrate anti-virus scanning and repair capabilities into services such as Web-based e-mail, Web-based file sharing, Internet-available databases and other applications that deliver files over the Internet."
Now I just to have to wait until McAffee gets off their duff
