Welcome to the Gateway Anti-Virus Project Website

Gateway Anti-Virus, a Vermont Department of Taxes project, allows applications across the enterprise to check files for viruses by providing a SOAP-based virus scanning web service. Client applications submit files to the web service and the web service uses ClamAV to scan them for viruses. The results are returned to the client.

December 18, 2007 - Gateway Anti-Virus 2.0 Released

The Gateway Anti-Virus team is pleased to announce the 2.0 release of Gateway Anti-Virus. Since the last release, Gateway Anti-Virus has been completely re-written in php.

The new code base is much simpler and cleaner than the old C code. The source code for version 2.0 can be found on the download page.
