Overview

The default virus scanner ported from Hyrax::Works.

If ClamAV is present, it will be used to check for the presence of a virus. If ClamAV is not installed or otherwise not available to your application, Hyrax::Works does no virus checking add assumes files have no viruses.

Examples:

to use a virus checker other than Hyrax::VirusScanner:

class MyScanner < Hyrax::Works::VirusScanner
  def infected?
    my_result = Scanner.check_for_viruses(file)
    [return true or false]
  end
end

# Then set Hyrax::Works to use your scanner either in a config file or initializer:
Hyrax.config.virus_scanner = MyScanner

def infected?
  defined?(ClamAV) ? clam_av_scanner : null_scanner
end

#null_scanner ⇒ Object

Always return zero if there’s nothing available to check for viruses. This means that we assume all files have no viruses because we can’t conclusively say if they have or not.
