    Yes, something local or VirusTotal (or similar) integration would have been a great feature to have.

    The concept of scanning for viruses is dead from a security perspective. Scanners (especially those that implment the file format they scan) introduce more code that opens up attack surface, also signature-based models are too slow in deployment to be of use.

    Closing this. If somebody want's to implement something like that, have a look at whatever security-models are available for your webserver (in the case of apache, e.g mod_security)

    Cheers
