* Is it possible to configure the scan to happen as soon as doc hits the temp bucket ?
In principle yes, see the documentation for "scan on access". There are caveats, for example it doesn't work on Windows boxes yet.
* What happens if multiple docs are uploaded at the same time ?
Making some wild assumptions, more or less the same thing that happens if a single document is uploaded. If you don't like my assumptions, please tell me more about yours.
* How will we know if the doc had a virus or not ?
You can never know that it did not. You have a fair chance of knowing if it did - but it's only fair. See the documentation for information about scan results. See more of my posts to this list in the archives for detection rate estimates based on long experience. Spoiler alert: not so good if you're prone to lying awake at night worrying about it.
* How long does it take to scan a doc ?
About as long as this piece of string. On a good day I'll get from 10kbytes/s to 100kByte/s data scanned by my milter, but (1) I only scan mail on the wire, not documents from mass storage and (2) much faster computers exist - a bank can probably afford one of those. There's a lot of documentation at http://www.clamav.net/documents/clam-antivirus-user-manual If you ask better questions, you'll get better answers. :) -- 73, Ged. _______________________________________________ clamav-users mailing list clamav-users@lists.clamav.net https://lists.clamav.net/mailman/listinfo/clamav-users Help us build a comprehensive ClamAV guide: https://github.com/vrtadmin/clamav-faq http://www.clamav.net/contact.html#ml
