Jayan, There's a few options you could take:
1) Just have an on-access virus scanner running on the machine, and have it scan new files for virus. This solution would not integrate into DSpace at all, but it would make sure that you are virus-free. Currently, this is the route we are taking at UIUC, since there's nothing more integrated with DSpace, yet. 2) In DSpace 1.5, the Configurable Submission is being officially released. As part of this, there is the new ability to reorder steps in the submission process as well as create new custom ones (with a little Java programming, of course). So, you could create a custom non-interactive (i.e. without a user interface) submission "step" which scans newly uploaded files for viruses. This step could report the results of that virus scan to somewhere (database or session variable) where the Verify/Review step could then inform the submitter whether or not the file was found to contain viruses. I'm hoping that someone will take on #2. I admit, I've thought about it quite a bit, but haven't had a chance to free up enough time yet to implement it. Definitely let me know if this doesn't make sense! :) - Tim Jayan Chirayath Kurian wrote: > Hi! > > > > How to make sure that the items submitted to a DSpace repository by > authorized users are free from virus.
