Looking for anti malware product for sharepoint 2016

Question

Hello,

We are looking for anti-malware product for SharePoint 2016. We want the files to be scanned before uploading or downloading from a document library so that malicious files should be caught by anti virus.

Can you please guide about best anti malware product for SharePoint 2016?

Answer 1

install some antivitus software on your farm (e.g. here you may find list of compatible antiviruses for SP2013. Most probably most of them also have version for SP2016 nowdays: Antivirus and SharePoint 2013) and enable it in Central administration: SharePoint 2016 Central Admin - Security - Manage Antivirus Settings so it will scan documents on upload and/or download.
