Thank you rob_ocelot thats just what I was thinking... someone downloads a file onto a PC, syncs it without scanning it, and then next thing you know you copy that file to other PC's and you have a virus passing device.
Not that PPC's are that big in the general scheme of user ways to pass viruses but hey theres the potential there.
I agree with the size thing that was my thoughts on why its not done to begin with.

Of course, the problem with discussing computer security is that you inevitably end up giving virus/malware writers new ideas for attacks

Its funny you mention that I had a conversation with a self proclaimed propagatisit of malware/viruses and it was funny to hear how many security related books and subscriptions and seminars he has under his belt. Well he does have to keep one step ahead of what is being implemented. Its quite intriguing at how bright these people actually are its a shame to know they are so bright and use their talents for nerfaroius purposes.
