Virus Checking

Since the ORB platform allows users to upload files, these files should be checked for viruses.

Even if an uploaded file contains a virus that may not harm the server operating system, users who download the files may be using operating systems which are susceptible to the virus.

The ORB server uses the ClamAV open source antivirus engine to scan uploaded files.

A sample shell script to run the virus checker and email the results is included in the utils directory (virus-scan.sh)
