Online Scanner

Anything in the works from Sophos RE a free online scanning tool that one could visit from a host that may be infected? Currently we use tools from TrendMicro (Housecall), and F-Secure and they are very effective. Since we are a Sophos shop we were hoping for Sophos to offer something. The benefits are that it can be used remotely, the definitions are read-only and the engine is protected from compromise.

What could be even better is that my Enterprise Console server could host and internal one that we could use in conjunction with NAC.

Yep, tool like online scanner for infected files is well appreciated from Sophos.
Apart from trend micro & F-Secure, Kaspersky also offers online scanner, but, the problem is even infected files passes-through the test and KAS reports it is CLEAN! :)
Definitely Sophos should have one powerful online file scanner.

BUMP! I realise this is an old thread, but I was just wondering about this myself today. It would be an enormous help for shops that have many satellite properties, such as mine.

Any thoughts on the necessity of having online scanners activated on servers?
