Calling the McAfee virus scan engine

Question

I have a request from a client to integrate virus scanning into an application using the McAfee Virus Scan which they have on their server. I have done a bit of investigation and found that McScan32.dll is the main scan engine and it exports various functions that look useful. I have also found mentions of a McAfee Scan Engine SDK, but had trouble getting more information about it.

Has anyone used the McAfee Scan Engine SDK, if so where did you get information about it. I am trying to integrate into a C# application and the SDK appears to export C style functions, but that is a different issue once I get hold of the SDK.

Opswat.com provide a set of API's that wrap around existing virus checker, look at their product Metascan Ultra Plus.
