Have ClamAV as a stand alone NS8 app for other apps

Hi,

inspired by questions and thoughts here: this topic

I would like to discuss the following:
I agree with @dnutan thoughts on this. An Anti virus solution is not just for mail (where it maybe originated) and Anti virus is an old school term today. An Anti thread solution just like DPI, but danger comes in many many forms.

Uncoupling ClamAV from the mail module and have it as a seperate app, and acting as an anti thread solution for other apps such as Nextcloud and mail would be a good thing. After all, it is just another app/service.

In ‘cluster terms’ just like NethSecurity and/or Pihole, ClamAV(/or multiple apps) could well be a fully loaded anti thread node.

Thoughts, ideas, initiatives?
