Run MScanner in a virtualized environment.

[Gregg Lain]

I have used it on various 200-1GB RAM all-in one CentOS Xen guests 
(Apache/MySQL/PHP/dns/email XEN VPS) on AMD 2.4GHz/software RAID for 
months - set the time for 60+sec, 1 child for the minimal configs, 
better for the higher configs - lag is at most around a minute.

Obviously for the lower configs performance/speediness was not an issue.

Running clam 0.92..
