Abstract
First data relating to a selected file is obtained. Based upon the first data it is determined if malware detection processing can be selected. Malware detection processing of the file is selected based upon said first data if it is determined that malware detection processing can be selected based upon the first data. If it is determined that, based upon the first data, malware detection processing cannot be selected based upon the first data, second data relating to the selected file is obtained and malware detection processing of the file is selected based upon said first and second obtained data. The selected malware detection processing is applied to said selected file. In an exemplary embodiment the first data is metadata and represents a faster scan of the file, and the second data is content of the file's header and represents a more in-depth scan of the file.
