ClamAV support undocumented, probably broken

[Nigel-catalyst]

pablo from the forums is having troubles with ClamAV support:

1. ClamAV is flagging all files as viruses
2. The documentation in the eduforge docs section mentions things like the admin releasing files, which I'm not sure are even possible. The documentation in general is very poor, and doesn't describe a workflow that works.

We should investigate this code and see if a) it still works, b) how we can improve it and c) we should document it!

This bug was imported from eduforge.org, see:

Happily this still appears to be working as it should, and even sends the repeat virus uploader notification to the site admin. I don't think the "eduforge docs section" described in this bug report exists any more, so I don't think there's anything to correct.

I'll second the addition to documentation. One thing to consider on that front is suggesting the use of clamdscan rather than clamscan. Obviously, this requires a correctly set up clamd too.

Andrew,
I've unassigned myself, this bug is all yours if you want to reopen it...
