For the longer-term issue, the WMF is not currently scanning upload with a virus scanner, because of the performance and false positive rates. It would be great if we could get a bot to scan and flag files, so we can shorten the time to removing them.
If this is something that you guys don't easily have the resources to do internally, I could probably come up with something for this that runs
on our
end. There is a bit of delay between something being uploaded and it
reaching
us (I'm talking with Ariel Glenn right now on determining what the
latency is),
but if you're happy with a rather slow turnaround, it wouldn't be hard
for me
to script what I'm doing. Periodic rescanning everything is probably
better
than just a scan on import - I'd be very surprised if the nature of the infections I'm seeing were known by virus scanners at the time they
were uploaded.

I don't think it would really be a problem. I can run try to run something on labs. Ben installed a swift instance in labs 12 months ago, but it is probably better to download directly, as swift is too greedy for this.
