Re: Virus scan document before uploading

As an additional note, certain onaccess virus scanner like McAfee's don't
scan inside compressed files by default, make sure you turn it on for
protection. (As it's possible to upload virus containing compressed files
like .zip)

When you save the uploaded file to a location monitored by your on-access
scanner, the virus scanner should be triggered automatically. (Because
it's no different than having some other program writing virus file to
disk)

So just use whatever antivirus package your company is using.

You can test this functionality by uploading an "eicar" (try lookup the
word in search engines) file and see if your server's antivirus detect and
quantine it automatically. If it is then you're safe.

Hi all,

I have a vb.net in winforms application using webservices\ remoting to
upload documents to a remote webserver. And before these are saved to the
webservice i want to check them for any kind of viruses i.e do a virus
scan,
how can i do that, have any body done this before.

does trend or Symatec offer a webserivce that i can use to scan these
documents OR is there any API from TREND or SYMATEC installed on that
server
that i can use for this purpose.

thanks
sameer
