Let me try this again. I had more than one QWK packet, and I zapped the REP packet <blush!> -- I think it's too early in the day. :P

First, I've never seen a setting of such with IObit. It does have 3 scanning options:

1) Smart Scan - scans only the critical file areas of the system.
2) Full Scan - scans the entire system.
3) Custom Scan - scans what file or directory you specify.

Second, in the past, I've used McAfee, F-Prot, CA Internet Security,
and Fix-It Utilities, for my virus scanners. Too bad that there isn't a command line scanner one can use for new uploads to the BBS. I also used to run the THDPro program, which allowed me to process new uploads immediately.

Ha! No worries, thats my every morning prior to a few cups of coffee. I'll try the IO bit now that my daughter flew back home this AM I'll have time to install. I remember McAfee, used to like it pretty well. Nortons came free with my laptop and I sware it won't uninstall. It somehow knows I've done
so, and has extensions within chrome and who knows where else to send "reminders" that my PC isn't "protected," even when Windows 10 has built in virus and malware support (sigh ..) I remember trying IO bit and liked it, but had since reinstalled windows. The only application I didn't like of theirs (since my last post) is their driver update. It installed an updated driver to my laptop that disabled my Miracast, which took me a good hour to research how to turn back on. At the end of the day I had to delete and reinstall the wifi 6 driver prior to it working.

Clam-AV works nicely on the linux end for command line and on demand scanning, I wonder if it would work with a linux subsystem install
under windows? ===

I don't know....but on a ham radio traffic net last night, several
noted that the next version of Windows will have a Linux Kernel System,
or something like that. Not sure when it'll be released...let alone the
full details. One ham radio operator said "he can't really comment on
that" right now, but apparently he knows quite a bit.
