Abstract
Filename-based malware pre-scanning is described herein. A method as described herein can include establishing sequential malware scanning for respective files in a first directory of a file system according to filenames of the respective files; comparing an elapsed time since a previous malware scan for a first file of the respective files in the first directory having a first filename in a filename sequence to a scan age threshold associated with a scheduled malware scan task for the first directory; and, in response to the elapsed time since the previous malware scan for the first file being determined to be less than the scan age threshold, removing the scheduled malware scan task with respect to the first file and at least one second file of the respective files in the first directory having respective second filenames in the filename sequence.
