If "Virus Scanning" was a ruleset, you wouldn't actually know whether you
were to scan anything in the batch without querying this for every single
message, which would slow it down. I have recently added a little function
that tells me whether you used a ruleset or not. It now uses that to decide
not to even start up the scanner if you aren't scanning *anything* at all.
