### Virus Scanning

All uploaded files are virus scanned and Scan status is provided. Any infected or potentially dangerous file uploads are automatically removed and cannot be downloaded.

Files will have any of the following AV scan statuses.

| **Pending**  | The file is waiting to be scanned.                                                           |
| ------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Clean**    | The file has been scanned and is clean.                                                      |
| **Unknown**  | The scan status of the uploaded file is not known.                                           |
| **Refused**  | The virus scanner refused to scan. This can happen if password protected files are uploaded. |
| **Infected** | The file is infected and not safe.                                                           |
| **Scanning** | The file is being scanned                                                                    |

### Virus Notifications

When a file upload is found to be infected notifications are sent to an administrator.

The virus notification email can be specified by a System Administrator in the system settings.
