andre1990 Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 So my site gets flagged by AV's because once in a while a virus will be uploaded. Now this doesnt affect sites like fileave.com which actually have viruses on their system, so how come it affects us? My site is currently just a php upload site, would maybe have mysql store the files help? I don't know, im just asking for tips/methods. Thanks.

Philip Posted October 21, 2011 Share Posted October 21, 2011 Upload site Flagged By AV's - How to overcome? Don't allow viruses. Seriously though, what kind of site do you run that gets that many viruses? Ban IPs/users that provide bad files, do some checking on the files, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andre1990 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 Appreciate the help KP, but the question still remains as to why sites like fileave.com do not get flagged whatsoever; and i know for a fact that people host their viruses on there. Could it be the way im uploading the files, is it too 'raw'? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikachu2000 Posted October 22, 2011 Share Posted October 22, 2011 Who cares why another site doesn't get flagged? Isn't the problem here that your site is getting flagged, or are you trying to figure out how to host viruses without being detected?

andre1990 Posted October 22, 2011 Author Share Posted October 22, 2011 The issue is that i am not going to stop 100% of them being uploaded, and the few that are uploaded are causing my site to be flagged. So you have on one hand sites that have viruses on them and arent flagged, and mine on the other hand that has few that are dealt with as quickly as possible that are being flagged.
