Virus Scan on File Upload

I think it would be a great idea to add some sort of virus scanning as part of the file upload function. It could be incorporated as part of your base code or perhaps as an "add-in" function.

Some systems will automatically scan the file, if not you can use a PHP extension to call ClamAV:

Virus scan is out of scope for default distribution because it requires platform with some exotic PHP extensions. We want to keep system requirements as low as possible so we use only extensions and libraries that are common on platforms currently offered by hosting companies.

You may want to check out an API from OPSWAT (www.opswat.com) called Metascan. It supports integration of most AV packages in the market and has several built-in engines. The SDK includes code samples in ASP, C, C++, Java. ICAP support is scheduled for Q2 2008. Filterbit (www.filterbit.com) is a PHP-based site demonstrating Metascan integration of 6 AV engines; scan performance and results of each engine are displayed.
