WLM could use your own command line tool to scan files (as shown in the screenshot above). The only output that could come from this is in the form of a process exit code (Normally 0 means success and anything else than 0 means an error number). You don't see this code as text output (unless you write a small batch file and issue an echo command), it is something which is passed between processes.
Unfortunatly (and to my surprise) WLM does not use the exit code from such command line tools.
So, even if your scanners says that something is infected and it returns an exit code other than 0 indicating this, WLM does not display a warning, nor does it disable the link in the conversation window... Nothing happens...
Thank you!
That is exactly what I wanted to know. I also am surprised, it
almost defeats the purpose of forcing users to select a virus scanner.
