Virus Scanner

The Virus Scanner section in the System tab can be reached by a User with the System Manager Role.

A path can be set to the antivirus checker executable to check all uploaded files for threats before allowing submissions to progress to the next stages.

This enables a scanner that checks a file at the point of upload. This includes uploads for submissions, additional files while Adding Specification Information, and any images that are added to projects, suppliers, or user profiles. If any uploaded files fail to pass the scan in a submission, the user is unable to proceed until the file is removed and/or replaced with a file that passes the scan successfully.
