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

the NetApp uses

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.
