Hi Bob!

I am currently working on this issue, but I will not integrate a complete scanner into limewire, rather I am writing a plugin which is able to use existing scanners on the users host-computer to scan the downloaded files immediatly before they are saved.
However I cannot promise how many scanners I'll support, at least ClamAV and very likely AntiVir, but it really depends how friendly the interfaces are scanner-programmers give me...
