I am building an upload functionality for my website. The website is built using ASP.Net and VB. I wish to add a virus scan for the uploaded file. I have looked over internet and have found that command line scanning is one option. I was exploring this
option and I realized that, to scan the file using command line, I will have to upload the file to the web Server, which is risky as it may infect the Web Server. Is there a way around this?
<div></div> <div>Also how does Hotmail Scan for uploaded files. What architecture do they follow?
