Yes, but that needs to be done anyway if you want to open a file. Only computing a checksum is probably faster than checking for antivirus behavior.

It is supposed to use checksums on files. If a file hasn't changed it isn't scanned. Only problem with that that I see is if it's a new virus it gets a checksum and doesn't get checked again, unless sometimes you do a full scan where everything gets checked.
