There is a problem. kav4fs will only run as root as far as I can tell and 
MailScanner is not calling it as root.

Perhaps a small shell script called kavscanner which will run sudo 
kav4fs-kavscanner and pass on all arguments might do the trick.

But for sure the latest Kaspersky software is a bitch to automate for a 
non-root account.
