What is Sieve Nexus?
Sieve Nexus is a shared malware-scanning service created by Coywolf that uses ClamAV to detect malicious threats.
Files attached by users to Coywolf services like Recollect notes are scanned for viruses and malware by Sieve Nexus, Coywolf's file-scanning service. Sieve Nexus uses the ClamAV antivirus engine and its regularly updated signature database to inspect each file after it is uploaded.
If Sieve Nexus identifies a file as a virus, malware, or other threat, that file is disabled within the Coywolf service to which it was uploaded. In Recollect, a file identified as a threat is blocked from being downloaded or served, any public link to a note containing the file is removed, and the file's owner is notified. A file disabled in this way remains disabled until it is removed from the note.
