It has started to develop "samba-vscan". They say:

   samba-vscan (on-access virus scanning with Samba)
   -------------------------------------------------
   samba-vscan is a proof-of-concept module for Samba, which uses the VFS
   (virtual file system) features of Samba 2.2.x/3.0 alphaX. Of couse,
   Samba has to be compiled with VFS support. It currently works only with
   FRISK F-Prot Daemon, Kaspersky AntiVirus, mks32, OpenAntiVirus
   ScannerDaemon, Sophos Sweep, Symantec CarrierScan or Trend Micro. The
   latest release is 0.2.5e. samba-vscan is maintained by Rainer Link.

No personal experienc made with samba-vscan.

Cheers,
Kurt
