Active Transfer and Anti Virus Scanning

, ,

HI

Has anyone successfully integrated anti virus scanning into an Active Transfer Scheduled Task.
I am trying to carry out a number of file transfers using SFTP and need to virus check the files as they pass into or out of our network.

I have used SAV32CL (sophos on demand scanner) but it takes an average of 15 seconds to scan a 1k file, as it takes 10 seconds to load the ide files , which it does on every call.

Interesting…but how are you handling the file passing into a virus check via MFT/IS built-in or custom service thru or I believe a command line tool with SAV32CL?

Just curious:

TIA,

Hi

Currently I have a script that is being passed a set of parameters from a scheduled task item.
The script implements the Virus Scan as a separate CMD process, and handles the activity that takes place in the event of a virus being found.
The called script passes back a status to the scheduled task to determine if the process continues or exits.

Anti Virus scanning needed every time when we are transferring files. It will protect our system as well as our data also.
