Virus-scan file with Powershell

Is it possible to trigger a virus scan on a file with PowerShell?

We want to search a file for virus, and if the file is ok; move the file to another directory..

We have thought about setting up a dedicated server for this with some software for the virus-search, but we have no clue on where to begin, or if it's even possible. I'm open for suggestions. Thanks.

Solution

  • You can use PowerShell to automate the job. However the choice of antivirus application is up to you. As @Joachim already suggested, you may want to try ClamAV which is under GPL.
