Of course. If I can be of any help wrt testing, please ask.

Fine, I'm glad to hear that.

Thanks for your input and work on the VFS stuff! Hm, actually at least 
for 2.2.8(a) it seems doing on-access scanning via VFS has more 
"overhead" than doing it as a linux kernel module. First test showed 
8sec vs ~20sec. But I need to do some more reasearch on that.
