I know that some images can have embedded malware, I was just wondering if the Forum checks when a file or image is uploaded for malware and viruses.

Does anyone know the answer?
Re: Are files and images checked for viruses on forum
We don't have any sort of PHPBB plugin to do it, but it's possible that the server itself is scanning things. I'll ping @kkremitzki, he will know for sure.
Re: Are files and images checked for viruses on forum
The answer is "no" -- right now we aren't doing any malware scanning of files, the only protection employed is a file extension filter.
