On-demand virus scanning Windows

Question

I'm wanting to scan files a user uploads to our websites on the server-side. I'd prefer it to be something we can run on-demand that doesn't have to be running all the time on the server. What solutions are available for Windows Server 2008 R2? Which products specifically would you recommend?

Answer 1

If I were in your situation, I would script up a solution to call ClaimAV on the file, whenever you receive the file. For Windows, if you are running IIS, (or any web framework) there is probably some sort of callback on file reception you can plug this into.
