Providing your customers malware protection locally or over the network

Sophos Anti-Virus Dynamic Interface (SAV-DI) is a general-purpose interface to the Sophos anti-malware engine that enables applications written in any language on any system to scan files and data locally or over the network for viruses, Trojans, worms, spyware and adware.

Seamless integration

• Provides access to the Sophos anti-malware engine via a multitude of high-level programming languages, including Perl, Python, Java, C#, .NET and VBScript
• Free and easy access to the SAV-DI SDK integration resources (includes documentation and sample applications to get you started)
• Allows integration with the most commonly used open source solutions
