    I'm afraid you can't install antivirus software for a single account.
     
  3. so what do you suggest me to do?
     
  4. If you are referring to a full feature-desktop-like antivirus that scans for all your site contents, I'm afraid there isn't any. It has to be installed on the web server itself which I'm afraid is not applicable on shared hosting environment. We have security measures placed on the server, to ensure server stability, security and performance.

    You can however, ensure the security for your own site account e.g installing SSL certificate, use a strongly typed password (combination letter, number and alphanumeric char) also convert textbox input to integer and back to string (as needed) to prevent SQL injection
     
  5. what i meant is - i have a file uploader on my website.

    i want to run a virus scan on the uploaded file, to ensure that nobody will upload a virus.

    im checking the file formats but it not seem to be enough.

    so what i wanted to do is just to call a process in a command line, on every upload. to do so - i need to install an anti virus on my server...

    possible? no? any other option/service to do that?
