Basically, yes. All messages with attachments are passed through the
plug-in to the on-demand file scan facility. This is less system
intrusive than a disk access monitor. All attachments are scanned. The
full power of the AV package's protection is brought to bear. Nothing
will get through that would have been caught before. The AV plug-in
returns a True/False result and some identification data. TB shows the
result (if a positive is found) and moves the offending message to a
quarantine folder.

I love it!
