Abstract:
Threat emergence dates as well as file modification and scanning history are tracked to determine which files need to be scanned for possible infection by various attacking agents. Information concerning which scan engines are used to scan for the presence of different attacking agents is also tracked. Where given files only need to be scanned for a subset of all possible threats and the relevant scanning code resides in only a subset of all the scan engines, only the required scan engines are initialized, loaded or called in order to scan those files.
