Abstract

A method and apparatus for populating a trusted files database for an anti-virus application. A determination is made from several files stored in a file system of a set of files likely to be accessed from the file system. For each file that is likely to be accessed from the file system, a further determination is made to ascertain if the file is trusted by the anti-virus application. If the file is likely to be accessed from the file system, and is trusted, then it is identified in a trusted files database. By only including files that are likely to be accessed by the file system, the time to populate the trusted files database is greatly reduced.
