Dear Antonio - what you need is a good reliable virus scanner with auto
updating (e.g. Sophos) on the BlackBoard server itself - this should
scan any new or changed files that are added through the dropbox as they
are submitted. You would set it to clean/quarantine any infected
documents - not delete them automatically!
