Introduction
Bud’s malicious document upload scanning feature protects users from harmful content. This guide details the scanning process for malware, phishing, and spam in uploaded documents, and describes the actions taken if malicious content is detected, such as quarantining the file.
How are malicious documents handled?
Uploaded documents are scanned for malware and other malicious content. This helps to protect the eventual downloader from any such content.
In the event malicious content is found in an uploaded document, it is quarantined. It will not be possible to download the document to your PC.
An error, 'We have detected a virus. For security reasons we have removed this file' will be shown against the document in question as pictured below.
The built-in protection Bud provides is not a substitute for scanning on your own PC. Bud recommends you scan any files you download from the internet, including those from Bud, with your own anti-virus and anti-malware solutions.
