I was describing two issues: One is that root user was needed for
ScanOnAccess. Second was that the apparmor profile does not fit.

Basically, there should be an easy way to use ScanOnAccess with correct
apparmor profile.

Fanotify seems to be a basic feature in conjunction with a virus scanner
(which can simply run in user space without a kernel module, still
getting notified about changes in files).

With the two changes I described, ScanOnAccess is working for me with
root privileges and apparmor profile disabled. Therefore, it also
detects Eicar testfiles.

I'd suggest to make ScanOnAccess more accessible to an average user.
