Command line programs Antivirus and Xls convert

Post by Sindarin »

I need to create an uploader for internal use which will be used for all kinds of documents. So I have 2 requests:

Does anyone know of a good free antivirus commandline program that I can use through php exec to scan those documents uploaded?
And any xls to html ?

I need them for Windows server but if they are available for Linux too that'd be good.

As I recall, AVG and Antivir are two of the best anti-virus programs. I don't know if they have command line interfaces.

I'll have to disagree with Antivir and especially AVG being the best, from experience. Too many false positives. Avast! for me. :D

I found this one http://www.clamav.net/ it says it works with emails but I don't know if it will work with files through commandline (although win32/linux ports are available).
