[squid-users] Squid and Virus Screening

Hi all.

I have a question which I cannot seem to answer. I have searched google, but
obviously for the wrong things.

The question I have is is it possible to screen or scan all files downloaded
(main extensions such as zip/rar/bzip2/gz/tar/exe) for viruses while they
are being downloaded (transparent to the user)? And if so, how could one do
it? I suppose you could use a wrapper but am not sure exactly how to do
that.

I understand that this will have considerable resource impacts on the server
itself, specially if the internet is used (and abused), but I would like to
implement something like that.

Please let me know if anyone has any ideas, or knows of some documents that
I could read. Been thinking of using something like squidGuard source and
just change the code to redirect all extensions like exe and so on to
clamdscan.

Thanks in advance
