Antivirus API for scanning before saving to file server

Question

Is their an API for Kaspersky to scan for virus when uploading files to an file server from an ASP .NET Application.My requirement is that before the saving is done the file must be checked for virus.Is it possible to scan for virus before saving the file .

Solution

Kaspersky has a SDK but it seems you will have to contact them to receive any documentation: Antivirus SDK

Many web applications use ClamAV in daemon (service) mode for these purposes. A plus is that ClamAV is free of charge.

• Here you can find a library for .NET that talks with ClamAV.

Clamson appears to be abandoned, what appears to be a modern package is nClam github.com/tekmaven/nClam
