Hi,

this looks like a great mod, but is there a way to scan the file without LibClamAV?

Sure we can do it but as i said i prefer ClamAV because it has extension for php otherwise i dont know any antivir with php extension so we need to make some system base codes for example you can download AVG 7.5 Free for linux and when you wanna scan with it code might be like this

Code:

$var=system("avgscan -arch $file");

preg_match("/Virus found phrase/si", $var, $result);

if ($result) { code ... }

What's wrong or lacking in ClamAV? I have it on my VPS (installed by default) and it's updated nightly. I don't know a whole lot about it, to be honest, so I'm wondering if you know of anything to suggest it's unreliable.

hm if you on shared host u can try use function dl and force loading module but talk with your host and they must have clamav on their module list coz every host is installing it for mail management

I checked with my host and they aren't offering it. Do I need shell access to use the dl function?

Nope you do not need but u need to check did they enable this function for you in php.ini,
http://tr2.php.net/dl here is its usage and examples.
Between did you ask them for installing?

so when new viruses come out the virus checker will need to be updated - aint it easy just to download them and have a virus checker on your comp that auto scans any incoming files.

ClamAV has this option on virtualbox i recommend installing freshclam it works as a daemon and its doesnt eat so much resources actually it doesnt eat any :)

Not really.

First, since this is part of the PHP installation, on my VPS I have a cron job running nightly to update everything that needs to be updated and ClamAV is one of those modules - it may add a few seconds to the updates if installed but that's all.

Second, I think your forum members would be happier knowing that you are taking some steps to minimize the risk of downloading malware from your site.

Third, it will help you to avoid flags that increasingly get attached to sites, e.g., McAfee's site warnings and Google's.

I think this add-on is a great idea. :up:
