## Beskrywing

Protect your WordPress site from malware by scanning all file uploads for viruses,
worms, and trojans. Powered by the Sophos engine, attachmentAV scans every file 
before it reaches your server — blocking infected uploads in real time.

#### Virus Scan & Malware Protection for Form Plugins

attachmentAV integrates with the most popular WordPress form and file upload plugins:

 * [Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/contact-form-7/) — virus scan 
   and malware protection for Contact Form 7 file uploads
 * [WPForms](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpforms-lite/) — virus scan and malware
   protection for WPForms file upload fields
 * [Gravity Forms](https://gravity.com) — virus scan and malware protection for 
   Gravity Forms file upload fields
 * [Formidable Forms](https://wordpress.org/plugins/formidable/) — virus scan and
   malware protection for Formidable Forms file uploads
 * [Drag and Drop Multiple File Upload for Contact Form 7](https://wordpress.org/plugins/drag-and-drop-multiple-file-upload-contact-form-7/)—
   virus scan and malware protection for drag-and-drop file uploads
 * [Iptanus File Upload](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-file-upload/) — virus 
   scan and malware protection for Iptanus File Upload
 * [Media Library](https://wordpress.com/support/media/) — virus scan and malware
   protection for core WordPress media uploads

#### How It Works

 1. A user uploads a file through a form (see supported plugins).
 2. The attachmentAV plugin sends the file to the attachmentAV API.
 3. The attachmentAV API scans the file for malware using the Sophos engine.
 4. Infected files are blocked and an error is shown to the user.

An API key and subscription for the 3rd party service [attachmentAV](https://attachmentav.com/solution/malware-protection-for-wordpress/)
are required. To scan user uploads for malware, the plugin sends the files to the
API endpoint `https://eu.developer.attachmentav.com/v1/scan/sync/binary`.
