Answer 1

If you mean manually: try the online virusscanner at http://www.virustotal.com/ - It checks against a lot of antivirus programs for you.

Answer 2

I think the best solution is @Joe's answer to a similar question for c#:

I would probably just make a system call to run an independent process to do the scan. There are a number of command-line AV engines out there from various vendors.
