Abstract

See full text

An approach is provided for interdicting malicious file propagation. Packets of a message being transferred to a destination device are received. In response to packet(s) of the message being received, the packet(s) are scanned by determining whether the packet(s) match a corresponding portion of a malicious file. If any of the scanned packet(s) do not match the corresponding portion of the malicious file, a transfer of subsequent packet(s) of the message to the destination device is permitted without performing a scan of the subsequent packet(s). If the scanned packet(s) including a last one or more packets of the message match corresponding portions of the malicious file, a transfer of the scanned packet(s) to the destination device is permitted, except a transfer of the last one or more packets of the message to the destination device is not permitted.
