It's more about people actually given the choice of whatever scanner they choose to use and yahoo allowing you the user to pick that scanner. Only going with norton smells of corporate unfair play.

Norton is not a good choice for yahoo to use. In the past Norton has allowed several viruses to slip by and trash my system....AVG is the best on the market. I have to agree with the previous posts.

Sure our anti-virus software does have active file scanning. However, depending on the product and how it's set up, an on-demand scan of a file is often a bit more thorough than one performed on-access. How about (re)adding the option to execute the user's scanner of choice along with the appropriate switches as soon as the file finishes transferring, like what WAS available in Yahoo! Messenger 5.x and 6.0 and is in MSN / Windows Live Messenger? It seems like a rather simple solution to be honest. If a Anti-Virus vendor wanted to make sure a file transferred through messenger was thoroughly scanned, all their software would have to do is change the Yahoo! Messenger registry entry for this option to assure their scanner was executed when it needed to be.
