Mastering File Upload Security: DoS and Antivirus
My recommendation would be to use ClamAV an open source antivirus engine. It is a versatile tool designed to detect multiple types of threats from numerous file formats and other use cases (cross-platform, integration such as mail server). Finally, it is updated on a daily basis, ensuring protection against the latest known threats. This rapid update cycle is crucial for an antivirus tool to be effective.
