Virus Scanner

The Virus Scanner page can be reached by an Administrator via the Virus Scanner section in the System tab.

Administrators can set the path 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 will check a file at the point of upload on a submission. If any uploaded files fail to pass the scan, the user will be unable to proceed with the submission until the file is removed and/or replaced with a file that passes the scan successfully.
