I second that emotion 100%.  Email scanning: great.  Manual scanning: fine, but
start it just before you leave for the weekend, and hope it's finished by
Monday.  Automatic scanning: prepare to lose data, in addition to magically
converting your 3GHz P4 into a 386SuX.  Norton, McAffe, they're all just as bad.

If one insists on having the autoshredding er I mean autoscanning on, make
*absolutely* sure your scanner package as up-to-date as possible.
