I personally recommend Sophos, this has worked well in our production
environment.

Hi,

I am interested what solutions do you guys are using for AV scanning of 
uploaded files (uploaded through PHP).

For start I am analyzing Clamav options. Target OS is Linux / Debian. 
PHP version for the app is 5.4/5.5.

1. I made some tests for an app and it seems using php-clamav extension 
(http://php-clamav.sourceforge.net/) is a no go because of out of limit 
RAM/CPU usage and overall scan time.

2. Another solution is to use on-demand clamdscan which works much 
better as it uses clamd. However, it could be some issues I didnt tested 
yet:
     * if at same time with scanning there is a http request for that 
file what is happening
     * if at same time with scanning by PHP there is a move operation on 
that file I am not sure what is happening

3. I am reviewing as well on-access Clamuko. This is supposed to work 
properly within an uploads folder (where could be files moving in and
out) ?
