No, you can't prevent an antivirus from scanning your file. Just looking at 
the file attributes is enough to corrupt it (if it's followed by another 
commit). At least, it is what I observe with my program. If you too have an 
application that can commit to a metakit file through a network, please make 
the test and tell me if you observe the same corruption. Maybe it's my 
program's fault, but sincerely I doubt it.
