      Description

      At the moment if a virus is detected then the file upload is stopped and that is the end of the process. We would like to add:

      a) a new admin setting which will email someone when this happens with details of the dud file

      b) and / or add a new call back so that other behaviors can be added, ie an admin tool that allows retrieval of the file for analysis
