  Description : True web content filtering

DansGuardian is a web content filtering proxy for Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD,
and Solaris that uses Squid to do all the fetching. It filters using
multiple methods. These methods include URL and domain filtering, content
phrase filtering, PICS filtering, MIME filtering, file extension filtering,
POST limiting.

The content phrase filtering will check for pages that contain profanities
and phrases often associated with pornography and other undesirable content.
The POST filtering allows you to block or limit web upload. The URL and
domain filtering is able to handle huge lists and is significantly faster
than squidGuard.

The filtering has configurable domain, user and source ip exception lists.
SSL Tunneling is supported.

I just want to add that I don't want to see a 50 message flamewar on the 
merits of this program.  Please!

 If you don't want to see a flamewar, don't start one.  The incident you
 are refering to was fundamentally different to this one.  This is about
 a program that the system administrator installs to filter content on
 his network.  There's no sanitation of content provided by Debian
 going on in this case.

Perhaps a more interesting application on content filtering (at least
for me) is virus scanning in files downloaded.

Can dansguardian do this? Perhaps when used with a virus scanner, eg
clamav or scannerdaemon?
