without touching the file-concurrency issues caused by virus scanners:

a LOT of the Postgres <-> VirusScanner problems on Windows were caused
during the "postgres spawns a new process and communicates with that process
via ipstack"

Many Virus Scanners seam to have dealt with the TCP/IP stack in a not
compatible manner...
