Pros & cons? I'm considering enabling it on our new qnap @ work. I'm running it on a distro at home. Don't think it's ever flagged a problem, or had noticeable effect on performance. Only time I'm even aware of it is during email scans, or during system updates.
On the qnap forum a couple of people have flagged scan slowness (though I'd schedule it for night), high cpu usage and conflicts with other scheduled tasks, rebuilds etc.
So I'm inclined not to enable it. Does the (minimal AFAICT) security benefit make it worth the (potential) other issues?
edit: windows boxen will be connecting to it, so...
