AI-Powered File Scanning: Detect Malware Before It Reaches Your Team

Uploaded files from clients, contractors, and external sources are a common attack vector. Lodos Antivirus scans any file with AI-powered threat detection before it opens.

The most common entry point for malware in a team environment isn't a phishing link — it's a file. A PDF from a client. A ZIP from a contractor. An Excel macro sent over chat. Without scanning, any of these could be a threat vector that compromises your entire workspace. Lodos Antivirus scans any file before it reaches your team.

How Lodos Antivirus Works

Lodos Antivirus uses an AI-powered detection engine that goes beyond signature-based scanning. When you upload a file:

  1. The file is analyzed for known malware signatures
  2. AI behavior analysis checks for suspicious patterns in code, macros, and embedded content
  3. A threat intelligence report is generated with a confidence score
  4. The scan result is logged to your scan history for audit purposes

What It Scans

The Antivirus module supports all common file types:

  • Documents — PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX
  • Archives — ZIP, RAR, 7Z, TAR
  • Executables — EXE, DMG, APK, MSI
  • Scripts — JS, PY, SH, PS1
  • Images and media with embedded metadata

Confidence Scoring

Rather than a binary "safe/unsafe" verdict, Lodos Antivirus provides a confidence score (0–100) indicating the likelihood that a file contains a threat. This nuanced approach helps teams make informed decisions about borderline files — for example, a macro-enabled spreadsheet from a trusted vendor might score 15/100 (low threat) rather than being automatically flagged.

When to Use It

  • Before opening any file received from an external source
  • As part of a file review process for client deliverables
  • When onboarding contractors who send their first deliverables
  • Routine scanning of files shared in Social Hive channels

Getting Started

Access Antivirus from the Lodos sidebar. Drag and drop any file to begin scanning. Each scan uses one AI credit. Results are available within seconds and stored in your scan history.
