Hi,

I remember this exact plugin being written for a project I worked on
something like 3 years ago. IIRC, the test was actually made before letting
an user download a file: if the file was deemed dangerous by the antivirus,
the user was presented with a message saying that they were not allowed to
download the file and a mail message was sent to the administrator.

Unfortunately I can't find the code on extensions, I'll try to see if I can
still find it somewhere.
