By default, SharePoint 2010 does not contain any integrated antivirus scanning options. That said, it does include access to a comprehensive Antivirus Application Programming Interface (API) that enables third-party products to directly integrate with SharePoint to provide for antivirus protection of SharePoint content. In addition to these third-party options, Microsoft provides its own antivirus product for SharePoint, known as Microsoft Forefront Protection for SharePoint (FPS) 2010. This product is covered in more detail in Chapter 14.
