I never really understood why Virus scanners are so keen on scanning archives. Most stuff that I have archived I never touch and if I touch the contents, the Virus scanner will warn me anyway.
In fact the archive search is the single reason why I never do full disk scans voluntarily. They take ages and need tons of resources... Most of the times such a full disk scan is stuff on decompressing some archive.

For example, take a business that scans files that come thru the firewall and email, they think their firewall does the job well enough so they don't focus on keeping A/V on the computers up to date.
