Re: Sophie Speed ???

No, that won't use the daemon, it'll just start an extra instance of it
- including loading the libraries/definitions -  which is slower than
running sweep!

Try compiling scan_file from sample_apps/sock and then (while running
Sophie as a daemon) something like "scan_file <path to socket> eicar.com"

Best Wishes,
Chris
