Hello,

I´m kind of a noob, forced to work on my own project because the money for programmers is running out 🙂. Nevertheless I could pay a certain amount for help if needed. My framework is laravel and I have managed to implement clamav in a way that it scans my uploads in the local environment.

Here is my uncertainty:
My website needs to be capable of handling multiple uploads at once, which can be as large as 4 GB (I read that is the maximum Filesize for ClamAV is 2 GB but it can somehow be extended to 4GB).

I wonder what would happen if many users were uploading at the same time. Would the scan requests be executed one at the time? I imagine that could lead to long waiting times for the uploading users.

If that is so, I need to either configure clamav in a way that a new instance is loaded whenever a user uploads a file, which seems daunting, especially for me as a noob. Would that be doable and what would it take? Do I need to have some special knowledge of how to configure the server?

What would you recommend otherwise? It can be a paid service too.

Thank you!

Regards,

Florens
