The short of it all is that a I doubt that a traditional virus scan of
an EDI document can find what you are susceptible to:
I find that the biggest and most problematic could be something where
customer name is something like: "adam'; DROP TABLE EDI_table; --"
if you receive something like that from a trading partner I would
assume the shit would hit the fan.

Its all about data validation, and preventing executions OS commands,
and not virus scanning.
