File Upload/Virus Scan

[odenc]

Ref thread855-848267

I am looking for a way to ensure that files uploaded to my web application server are virus free.
Has anybody out there done something like this before? Am very happy to shell out for antivirus software, but I really need to be sure that it will do the job.
I have a web application that is programmed using java servlets, running on Oracle Application Server using Windows Server 2003.
Any help would be great,
Thanks,
Caroline

I don't think you'll have to put any specific code in place to do this. Most good virus scanners check new files that are created and will automatically pick them up and you can change various settings on what to do if a virus is picked up.

I need to integrate some kind of error handling in my code to ensure that if a virus is found, that the file is then prevented from being uploaded to the database.
I don't think just scanning any new files on the server will be enough.
