/**
 * Code overview
 *
 * Download scanner attempts to make use of one of two different virus
 * scanning interfaces available on Windows - IOfficeAntiVirus (Windows
 * 95/NT 4 and IE 5) and IAttachmentExecute (XPSP2 and up).  The latter
 * interface supports calling IOfficeAntiVirus internally, while also
 * adding support for XPSP2+ ADS forks which define security related
 * prompting on downloaded content.  
 *
 * Both interfaces are synchronous and can take a while, so it is not a
 * good idea to call either from the main thread. Some antivirus scanners can
 * take a long time to scan or the call might block while the scanner shows
 * its UI so if the user were to download many files that finished around the
 * same time, they would have to wait a while if the scanning were done on
 * exactly one other thread. Since the overhead of creating a thread is
 * relatively small compared to the time it takes to download a file and scan
 * it, a new thread is spawned for each download that is to be scanned. Since
 * most of the mozilla codebase is not threadsafe, all the information needed
 * for the scanner is gathered in the main thread in nsDownloadScanner::Scan::Start.
 * The only function of nsDownloadScanner::Scan which is invoked on another
 * thread is DoScan.
 *
 * Watchdog overview
 *
 * The watchdog is used internally by the scanner. It maintains a queue of
 * current download scans. In a separate thread, it dequeues the oldest scan
 * and waits on that scan's thread with a timeout given by WATCHDOG_TIMEOUT
 * (default is 30 seconds). If the wait times out, then the watchdog notifies
 * the Scan that it has timed out. If the scan really has timed out, then the
 * Scan object will dispatch its run method to the main thread; this will
 * release the watchdog thread's addref on the Scan. If it has not timed out
 * (i.e. the Scan just finished in time), then the watchdog dispatches a 
 * ReleaseDispatcher to release its ref of the Scan on the main thread.
 *
 * In order to minimize execution time, there are two events used to notify the
 * watchdog thread of a non-empty queue and a quit event. Every blocking wait 
 * that the watchdog thread does waits on the quit event; this lets the thread
 * quickly exit when shutting down. Also, the download scan queue will be empty
 * most of the time; rather than use a spin loop, a simple event is triggered
 * by the main thread when a new scan is added to an empty queue. When the
 * watchdog thread knows that it has run out of elements in the queue, it will
 * wait on the new item event.
 *
 * Memory/resource leaks due to timeout:
 * In the event of a timeout, the thread must remain alive; terminating it may
 * very well cause the antivirus scanner to crash or be put into an
 * inconsistent state; COM resources may also not be cleaned up. The downside
 * is that we need to leave the thread running; suspending it may lead to a
 * deadlock. Because the scan call may be ongoing, it may be dependent on the
 * memory referenced by the MSOAVINFO structure, so we cannot free mName, mPath
 * or mOrigin; this means that we cannot free the Scan object since doing so
 * will deallocate that memory. Note that mDownload is set to null upon timeout
 * or completion, so the download itself is never leaked. If the scan does
 * eventually complete, then the all the memory and resources will be freed.
 * It is possible, however extremely rare, that in the event of a timeout, the
 * mStateSync critical section will leak its event; this will happen only if
 * the scanning thread, watchdog thread or main thread try to enter the
 * critical section when one of the others is already in it.
 *
 * Reasoning for CheckAndSetState - there exists a race condition between the time when
 * either the timeout or normal scan sets the state and when Scan::Run is
 * executed on the main thread. Ex: mStatus could be set by Scan::DoScan* which
 * then queues a dispatch on the main thread. Before that dispatch is executed,
 * the timeout code fires and sets mStatus to AVSCAN_TIMEDOUT which then queues
 * its dispatch to the main thread (the same function as DoScan*). Both
 * dispatches run and both try to set the download state to AVSCAN_TIMEDOUT
 * which is incorrect.
 *
 * There are 5 possible outcomes of the virus scan:
 *    AVSCAN_GOOD     => the file is clean
 *    AVSCAN_BAD      => the file has a virus
 *    AVSCAN_UGLY     => the file had a virus, but it was cleaned
 *    AVSCAN_FAILED   => something else went wrong with the virus scanner.
 *    AVSCAN_TIMEDOUT => the scan (thread setup + execution) took too long
 *
 * Both the good and ugly states leave the user with a benign file, so they
 * transition to the finished state. Bad files are sent to the blocked state.
 * The failed and timedout states transition to finished downloads.
 *
 * Possible Future enhancements:
 *  * Create an interface for scanning files in general
 *  * Make this a service
 *  * Get antivirus scanner status via WMI/registry
