On-access scanning on Ubuntu 12.10

I've succesfully installed Sophos Anti-Virus 9.1.3 on my Ubuntu 12.10. I have some questions:

- When adding an exclusion, do I have to restart it? If so how? I've added the Dropbox folder but it seems like Dropbox continually tries to sync.

- Is it running as silent and beutiful as the Free Mac version (which I love)?

- Will it be a problem that I run a development server nginx at the same time?

- If I just want it to check my mail and download folder, how do I do that? The opposite to Exclusion, like "Just Scan...".

- How much does it cost?

    Hello palb,

    SAV for Linux is not available as a single-machine (user) version, licenses start with 3 users I think.

    I have practically no experience with the Linux version - AFAIK exclusions should take effect immediately (do you think that on-access scanning somehow interferes with Dropbox)? You can only specify exclusions.

    In principle most software should run fine (but don't you have issues with Dropbox?).

    To bad if I can't use it (but its running). I love the Mac version, running silently in the background. Ubuntu is growing like crazy so a good Linux version would be nice.

    I guess Dropbox has it's on access scanning for changes. And when there is another process doing the same it can trigger Dropbox to do a continus syncing. But that's just a thought.
