Keeping User-Uploaded Files Malware-Free: What’s Your Approach - Idea Validation

It can be tricky to keep user-uploaded files like profile photos and documents in an app malware-free.

I’m looking into creating a SAAS platform to automate malware scanning using ClamAV architecture reference. The idea is to scan files for malware (like trojans and viruses) both when they’re first uploaded and for existing files that might need a check.

I’m curious—how do you handle this right now? Do you use any specific tools or methods for scanning?

And would an automated solution like this, covering both new uploads and existing files, be something that interests you?
