Abstract:
1. A method for processing stored and forwarded code comprising: providing a computer with a storage component, transferring code, from said storage component, to a transfer component; transferring said code, from said transfer component, to a proscribed code scanner including exchanging information between said transfer component and said proscribed code scanner whereby said transfer component interrogates said proscribed code scanner to obtain processing status information; providing an indicator via said proscribed code scanner and indicating, via said proscribed code scanner returning said indicator to said transfer component, whether said code contains proscribed code; and, without transmitting said code that was transferred to the proscribed code scanner for analysis to said transfer component; and transferring said code to at least one secondary storage component based on said indication; wherein said transfer component is configured with instructions to implement transfer of code directly to at least one secondary storage component without transferring code to the proscribed code scanner when said transfer component recognizes information contained in said code that the transfer component uses to make a decision, and wherein the method includes transferring code directly to at least one secondary storage component without transferring code to the proscribed code scanner when said transfer component recognizes information contained in said code to correspond with a proscribed code scanner status for that code.
