Mailscanner with AntiVir?

[Leonard, Phil]

AntiVir 2.0.6 (current one) does produce a copyright statement.  The change
document states that in 2.0.3 "real-time scan output is suppressed for
non-tty's".  I don't have an older copy to compare the command line options
to.

The original AntiVir code was contributed by Cornelius Kölbel 
<nelischnuck at web.de>, not by me or Nick.

Can you put a few viruses in /tmp and then do
         cd /tmp
         /usr/lib/AntiVir/antivir -allfiles -s -rs -z

It should just produce lines containing virus reports. If it produces 
anything else (such as copyright information or a banner of some sort), can 
you look through the docs to see if they have changed the command-line 
options at all?
