This has been discused on this list before. If someone did make a plugin to squid or squidGuard that would allow a virus scanner to scan a protocol (HTTP, FTP, HTTPS) stream for a virus, all a malitious web page would have to do to disable this would be use SSL, HTTPS.
That is not to say this would be a good idea for FTP and HTTP locations unknowingly hosting virus infected archives. Martin Julian Tzonev wrote: > Hi there, > Is it possible to use squidGuard (or squid) for virus protection when > users serve WEB or download files. > > Julian Tzonev > >
