I have already tweaked the generic-autoupdate script so that by default it
does nothing. If you are up to writing your own "scanner engine" then you
are also capable of editing 1 line in the autoupdate script, as you will
probably want to change that script anyway.

The update_virus_scanners job looks for all your installed scanners on the
basis of the virus.scanners.conf locations. It really does think you have
McAfee installed, even if you aren't currently using it. The reason for
updating ones you aren't using is so that if you suddenly decide to add
another scanning engine to your MailScanner.conf, you can do so safely in
the knowledge that it is already up to date as soon as you start using it.
