Second, I thought AV products don't "stack" well? Our PC tech here is constantly having problems with computers that come in and are running 2-4 AV software, and they're fighting like cats and dogs and crippling the system to where only a fresh install will fix it.
I guess it's because some of the AV products for PC use techniques similar to rootkits and modifies the kernel files. That leads to an abysmal hell if you try to stack them.
AFAIK ClamAV doesn't do that. It can be configured to run as a server (useful as an email server's virus filter), a cronjob, or a one-shot scanner, but not an intrusive bomb waiting to be triggered. That's why I like it: no on-access scan bullshit. (I believe one have to modify the kernel to achieve on-access scan, am I right?)
