Abstract

See full text

Scanning time for a computer anti-virus program is minimized by eliminating scanning of a file for viruses before closure, in response to the absence of a modification flag being raised in an associated operating system, the flag being indicative of the file having been modified between the time the file was opened to the time of a close request.
