As an aside to this, can I ask why the virus scanner options are all
bundled together in SweepViruses.pm? I sometimes use the sophos-wrapper
as a way of checking whether recent updates detect things that got
missed before the update was released (if that makes sense!) However, I
realised the other day that by default, sophos-wrapper doesn't check in
zip files for example, whereas when it's called by SweepViruses it's
given the options to open archives.

It's not a big deal - just wondered whether keeping all the a-v specific
stuff in a file specific to that a-v might make more sense that having
it spread about?

Cheers,

Martin
