Well, I think "significantly" is a bit of an overstatement, but you will
almost certainly get an increased level of protection with multiple virus
scanners. That's one reason why our Declude Virus Pro has support for
multiple virus scanners (up to 5 of them).
Usually the only time that one scanner would miss a virus that another
would catch is if the virus was just discovered, and one of the AV scanners
had updated virus definitions but the other did not have them yet.

You can't use F-Prot alone to scan E-mail. In order to use F-Prot to scan
E-mail, you would need our Declude Virus software.
However, there should be no problem using both IMail AntiVirus and
Declude/F-Prot. In that situation, IMail AntiVirus would scan the E-mail
first, and Declude Virus and F-Prot would act as the "backup" in case
anything slipped through.
