Quick Update: Antivirus scanning is live
Greetings everyone!
While we’re taking a little time off today to enjoy some family time and some Thanksgiving turkey and mashed potatoes, I just wanted to take a moment to give our extended family of MediaFire users a quick update on what’s been going on behind the scenes.
Over the course of this week some of you may have noticed that we silently rolled out an antivirus system that will help keep every file sent over MediaFire squeaky clean. Files are scanned during the verification phase of the upload process and thus will never make it onto the MediaFire network if a virus is detected. On the other hand, the virus scan is fairly rapid process and in most cases (if no harmful software is detected) will be completely transparent to the uploader.
Besides the usual performance testing and system upgrades that we are continuously implementing as we perfect the upload and download software, we’ve also been working extra long hours to bring you a new file management system complete with almost every feature that’s been requested by our users. We’re pretty excited about the new file management system, but it’s still going to be a little while until it’s ready, so if you have any suggestions that you’ve been sitting on wishing that we’d implement, please don’t hesitate to shoot us an email and we’ll do our best to make sure the most popular ideas are included in the new release.
Thanks again and happy sharing!
Tom
The MediaFire Team
