I think this really would add something very unique to DL:
I've been searching for a CD-based Linux with realtime http traffic=20
virus scanning.  None found so far.

The external boxes from Panda/TrendMicro/etc. are hideously expensive.
A DL box would be more suitable for many organisations.

OK. Those expensive boxes do more, but still..

I found this HAVP from http://www.clamav.net/3rdparty.html#webftp

The source download is less than 600 KB.

This is a Request For Comment :-)
