I thought the virus scanners are intercepting the network traffic
between TCP/IP stack and Ethernet driver and thus don't have to do
anything with TCP ports.

If the virus scanner would work as an IP application (as stunnel
does), the viruses had to cooperate with the scanner in order to be
detected.
