yes, exactly

Internet-----> desktop + Norton Anti-virus ---> samba share ( Linux +
Clamav + Vscan-daemon)

no improvement...8(

a) with 
max file size = 0 
scan on open = yes
scan on close = yes
exclude file types =

Thunderbird# clamdscan
Thunderbird: OK

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 0
Time: 116.681 sec (1 m 56 s)

b) with 
max file size = 10485760
scan on open = no
scan on close = yes
exclude file types = text/x-mail

Thunderbird# 
Thunderbird: OK

----------- SCAN SUMMARY -----------
Infected files: 0
Time: 116.737 sec (1 m 56 s)

All tests above took 100% of CPU .

Thunderbird# du -hs
117M 

Is this normal???

see above ...

inserting  exclude file types = text/x-mail  at vscan-samba.conf makes 
clamav runs like a charm.


Is this the real option??? I'm not confident about it......

yes just having Norton at desktop and Clamav at Samba gave us piece of
mind that I'm trying to have it again...8))

BTW sometimes clamav capture some virus that Norton let it pass
through.....8)



Thanks in advanced
