Virus Scanning to be uploaded files

Hi,

We are developing a Web application which helps users to uplaod files. We
want to ensure that the files are scanned for viruses when uploaded.
What is the best way to acheive this? We do not want to use the command line
utilities of Virus Scanners to acheive this.

Thanks in Advance.

That will require a virus scanner that offers an API, like Sophos. This
way, you can scan a file or a memory buffer without launching an
external process.

I'm using Access 2000, and I'd like to know if there is a way to use a scanner (flatbed, doc-feed, etc) to scan forms with OMR or OCR software, and have the data be automatically (or if not automatically then using a macro or other means) entered into tables. I guess the real question is do I need to use an expensive program to do this or is it codable suing Access/VB, and if it is codable, any suggestions as to how to start? Many...

Running IIS 6 on Windows 2003 server. After an update to the most recent version of php 5.1.2, for some reacon a function handling uploaded files using is_file stopped working. is_file failed for existing files. I fixed it by changing is_file to file_exists, then it worked again. Prior to the update, in the older version, presumably it was 5.0.1, is_file worked just fine without problems. <?php

There were some strange requests to my server asking for config.php file (which I do not have in the requested location). I did some investigation. Seems to be a virus written in perl, exploiting a vulnerability in php code.

Hello, I currently use a simple php webmail form with php's mail() function doing the work to send messages to the site owner. However, viruses are being sent via the form. I tried adding a basic colaboration of amavis-new, ClamAV and spamassasin, but that filter does not seem to catch them. I assume they are injected into the Postfix process too late.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
