Well, that's just a normal scanner. The problem with that is that the scanner has to scan every file that runs through the computer, which means that you will use twice the resource of a machine for same work.
If you let the scanner only be activated, then the file is down, then you won't have a scanner always scanning the folder. (Difference is, to let phex trigger the scanner, and not have a seperate scanner to moniter the whole time)
And It would be possible to scan the chunks too, because they can have early signs of known infections. But this will be difficult to do, because phex is already using the chunks.
