Is TeamSite servers capable of virus scanning an uploaded doc which may contains marco virus?
If no, is it possible to install plugin to TeamSite server to do the above job?

this functionality does not exist in TeamSite. However, nothing stops you from using any tools to scan for the file in TeamSite's IFS

At a previous job, we got IW support to give us a custom trigger (see: iwat command-line tool) that sends a notification of when a file is uploaded into TeamSite. We used that in conjunction with a third-party virus scanning tool to automatically scan uploaded files and instantly remove them if they are infected. This was triggered after a user uploaded an image file without noticing the .vbs extension thus triggering an emergency shutdown of TeamSite to prevent publishing the SoBig virus to the home page of a global 500 company Smiley Happy

You can also hook into the event subsystem and catch file upload events, if you are using
6.5. This comes up fairly often so there should be more info in the forum archives too.

We need to do something similar (i.e. virus scan all files that are being imported in TS). Can you give me some more details on the trigger provided by IW team. Also how did you connect to the third party virus scanner? Our client is still on TS 5.5.2 (on Solaris).

We have implemented somt thing like this in our previous projects. The way we did it was to scan the files attahed in a workflow and abruplty end the workflow if the files are infected or carry on the remaining tasks if it is fine.
Thanks
