savscan / via socket ?

Question

Hello 
 I would to scan each file that gets uploaded via my php upload script with Sophos anti-virus tool. Using savscan each time is very slowwww , because savscan needs to load virus signatures in memory . Is available a savscan daemon (such as with clamd antivirus) so I can check a file without executing each time savscan ? 
 
 Thank you!

Hi Kaneki 
 Thank you for the information. 
 There are three types of Scanning available in SAV for Linux. 
 1. Scheduled Scan - Simply scheduled for particular date and time. 
 2. On-demand Scanning - This can be triggered using savscan command which is manually scanning option for the user which is exactly the right click Scan in Windows. 
 3. On-access Scanning - SAV for Linux performs scanning whenever any file is getting a download on the machine, or copied to machine or you modify any file and save it. 
 Whenever you are uploading any file to the server which is basically gets copied to the machine from another machine, SAV for Linux will scan that file by default and it is malicious, Sophos will delete it and will not allow it to be copied on the machine.
