   one should not run more than one virus scanner on a system at a time... this   
   includes today's active scanner stuff where a scanner is running all the   
   time... running more than one virus scanner at the time /should/ cause   
   problems because their signatures look like parts they are looking for... this   
   is to be expected and if it doesn't happen, then something else is wrong...   
      
   so, the gist is on a BBS machine, one likely does not want to run an active   
   virus scanner if they are trying to run other scanners to scan uploaded files   
   from their users... in today's world, this shouldn't be much of a problem   
   because users generally don't upload files like they used to do before the   
   internet came along...
