ANTI VIRUS for SECURITY "UPLOADING DATA"

Just want to ask if the moodle installation has an anti-virus for checking those data upload by the user? If the answer is NO, Is there a way putting up anti-virus that moodle installed will say that a certain upload has a virus that might affect the performance and made unusual in the site? also alert admin to do appropriate action on that?

Curious and Wondering

I have never seen an anti virus that will speed up a system. Antivirus by nature creates system tasks.

If you have Anti-Virus on your server it should automaticly protect/check any files uploaded to the server. I would consider this an OS protection issue and not a Moodle issue.

To give you step by step instructions we would need much more information from you. i.e. Webserver version, Server Operating system...
