Virus upload scanning asp.net

How do you prevent people uploading viruses to your asp.net windows website ? The only user content I'll be showing are images, sounds and video, can these contain viruses ?

Certain clients/browser are exploitable using specially crafted images (ahem... IE). I'd say you are mostly fine, as long as you are writing the <object> tag and sanitise your database inputs.

Also, if you would like to scan user content for viruses, a command-line scanner, such as that provided by NOD32, etc. can be used, but I think that's too processor-intensive for a website.
