I have developed a web based application in ASP.NET and C# where users have the facility to upload files on the server through this application I want the application to Scan the uploaded files for viruses before saving on the server. Same like when we attach files with our email in Yahoo. Please guide me how I can achieve this functionality Any API which can be integrated in ASP.NET application or any other way you can suggest. We can purchase the licensed version of a product which can achieve this. I have googled but did not find specific results.

Thanks in advance!

First of all the file must be saved onto the server before you can scan it. If you notice Yahoo will upload the file first - but not allow the attachment to be sent until scanned.

Then you can use an antivirus with a command line interface or some other kind of API. Both of these can be called via C# and should provide the functionality you require. Parhaps write a wrapper class that takes a file and returns true or false depending on whether a virus was detected.
