Claim One:
1. A system for intelligently rescanning files previously identified as having a benign or malicious disposition, comprising a client component and a server component which are capable of communicating with each other either directly or indirectly; wherein the client is configured to extract meta-data from files of interest, including files that have previously been assigned a benign disposition and files that have previously been assigned a malicious disposition, and to provide the server with an identification of said files of interest as well as said meta-data for each of said files of interest, and wherein the server is configured to log said files of interest and associated meta-data, and wherein the server is configured to periodically scan file logs to identify files whose characteristics may be indicative of a disposition change; and wherein files whose characteristics may be indicative of a disposition change are identified for rescanning against the most current intelligence the server has for identifying updated file dispositions.
