This plugin adds a security layer by scanning every file uploaded to a site for malware before it is processed. It is designed for site administrators who need to prevent infected files from being stored or executed on their server, protecting against a common attack vector.

• ClamAV Integration: Uses the ClamAV antivirus engine by default to detect a wide range of malware and viruses in uploaded files.
• Custom Scanner Support: Can be configured to use a system command, allowing integration with any third-party antivirus or security scanner that accepts command-line input.
• Flexible Remediation: When a threat is detected, administrators can configure the plugin to quarantine the file, email an alert, or immediately halt the upload process with a 406 error.
• Broad Compatibility: Works by intercepting the $_FILES superglobal, meaning it can scan files uploaded through any form or plugin on the site, not just the core media uploader.
• Admin Configuration: All settings, including the scanner command and action on detection, are managed from a dedicated settings page within the site's admin area after activation.
