Nice to see some discussion finally. I was worried I had passed gas or
something....
Glad you like privoxy. I live behind it. Now I'm trying to get folks to check
out if it has problems with websites they visit - I've had almost no problem
and there is a handy toggle to turn it off. However in our case we have an
erate mandated proxy at the CO and while privoxy can be pointed to it toggling
off privoxy also toggles off access to the main proxy which is part of an
overall scheme to deny most users internet access if they don't go through the
main proxy.
However i think I can get around that but it may be "too complicated" - set a
duplicate location with just the main proxy entry, no privoxy's. Not sure if
you also have to bypass privoxy yet or not.
The remote admin of privoxy you mention is something I've just learned about
and need to learn much more about....

I've been aiming at targeted scanning mostly - with clamXav you can have a
sentry watch specific folders (like the Microsoft Users Data folder as the
Normal file will be among the first to go.)
However the idea I ran across with privoxy was to use clamav to scan based on
mime types.... seemed a very good idea. Privoxy stamps all over some
javascripts but allows others and having them scanned with a virus checker
seemed a good idea as clamav will pick up such problematic files after the
fact. Trying to use the same technique for cached data arriving runs into
problems as Safari uses many nested folders for caches and the ClamXav Sentry
doesn't scan sub-folders....
