Abstract
Incremental scanning of files for malicious codes. A file may be scanned for malicious codes in a first scanning instance in a client computer using a pattern of malicious code signatures. Thereafter, an update to the pattern for generating an updated pattern is received in the client computer. A delta pattern may be generated based on a difference between the pattern and the updated pattern. In a second scanning instance, the file may be rescanned using the delta pattern.
