Salesforce administrators, architects and Success Managers, if you or your customers are adding files/attachments to their environments, there is no inherent virus scanner built into Salesforce to check them for viruses. The only way to verify attachments do not contain malicious content is to connect a third-party application like EZProtect.

And, before you go there, an antivirus software connected to a corporate network will not apply here as many of the virus scanning applications have not been updated (employees turn off or delay updates), and many files are entered into Salesforce via communities and sites by the public who have no connection to the corporate network. Salesforce is it's own echo-system and needs it's own virus scanner to address attachments. EZProtect is the industry leading solution, and will soon release an API and On-Demand Scanner which will block files from entering the environments before they are scanned. Have a look at this demo video to understand how it works (6 minutes with technical issues), and contact Adaptus to request a quote. Year-end budgets are coming up, so please be proactive!
