This is not threadsafe and will cause you pain. Use a threadsafe temporary file library instead.

# Call virus checker error_level = os.system("f-prot " + filename)

Chances are 'f-prot' is not in the $PATH of the zope process and thus the command fails.

# Delete temp file os.remove(filename) return error_level;
