It's looking at the file system - it doesn't know (or care) what application wrote the files to the file system.
Very good. Thanks, that's what I wanted to hear.
The software doc to ReadyNAS OS 6.9.3 says it only scans when writing files over SMB (i.e when writing from a Windows share. Here's a qoute:
"When enabled, the antivirus software scans new files as they are written over the SMB (CIFS) protocol. It does not scan existing files or files transferred over other protocols."
