Miscellaneous Hacks - Virus scanner for attachments

Hello guys and gals,
I was seeking for virus scanner addon for vBulletin 3.6.x , i found out one product for 3.5.8 Jafo232's addon but it was using fprot which is needing license and not free. So i decided do make it for 3.6.x and using LibClamAV.
It works fine and it's simple.
Here you go.
Thanks Jafo232 for his addon and idea and cheesegrits for his sample.

What does this plugin do?

This plugin let you have virus scanner for your forum's attachment managing.

Installing

Open your admin control panel and then
Plugin System -> Manage Products -> [Add/Import Product] -> Select 'product-vscan.xml' from your computer then press 'Import'
This plugin uses ClamAV for scanning files there is two method available for scanning:
First method requires LibClamAV support on your php settings. You can check it on phpinfo. If you do not have ClamAV , You can download it free at here and faster than second method.If you can not find php-clamav due to problems from its publisher server. You can download php-clamavlib-0.13-src.zip which i attached or you can download compiled version clamav.zip or if you are using Debian based system just type apt-get install php5-clamavlib on your shell.
Second method uses clamscan binary of ClamAV does not require LibClamAV just installing ClamAV enough for it but its a bit slower than first method.
Please feel free to ask any questions

Current version: 0.2a
File name: plugin-vscan2.xml
Change history:
0.2a: Added function for scanning file if php does not have ClamAV support this function uses clamscan and no need libclamav support just installing ClamAV enough for this somehow its a bit slower than php-clamav module, and installing php-clamav strongly suggested.Who is using 0.1a and having php-clamav on their system do not need update because there is no change for php-clamav support but if you want to feel better you can update it.
0.1a: Addon written based from Jafo232's old but changed scanning method for using libclamav

It's Great ..

I think, it will be better if you add some few things ..

1 - let's say, a note shows that the scanner is runing after the file uploaded ..
2 - send a PM. to the admin that this user tried to attach a virus ..

it will be perfect with these things ..

Hello,
avsunforum you need LibClamAv support on your php, you need to install php-clamav module and it requires LibClamav.
If its not your machine and on some host ask your provider for it.
Clamav is free antivir for linux.
Selam,
avsunforum Libclamav desteğini phpnize kurmanız gerekmektedir.php-clamav mod?l?n? kurmalısınız buda libclamav desteği ister.
Eğer kullandığınız sunucu size ait değilse sunucu sağlayıcınızla g?r?ş?p isteğinizi belirtiniz.

Is this using the 3.7 hook to allow scanning?

Yes, its using hook newattachment_start and executing php-clamav's cl_scanfile_ex function on attached file and scanning it and as i know since 3.5 newattachment_start hook didnt change.
