Hi Bernd, are you using the latest version of PmWiki? This problem often occurs when your service provider updates the php server software and you are running an old version of PmWiki. Updating PmWiki usually solves the problem in that case. If it does not, can you check if the files in your pa

Antivirus scanning is something you really don’t want a php script to perform. You would face script timeouts, slow performance, memory issues, etc. So unless you want to prepackage PmWiki with a server OS bundle and throw in apache, clamav, php-clamav, etc, it is not doable. There are far to ma
