As I understand it Sean, the mail scanner is the only daemon it runs. Full scans (much easier when you use the GUI) find files that are suspicious and quarantine them. Any deletion is manual and at the users risk; there is no active scan like on windows, it just finds files when you tell it to scan

Thanks for the suggestion Ralph; in fact there was nothing wrong. It was just that the GUI picked up the out-of-date engine just after a close was forced, so it looked as though it was damaged.
