Abstract
A method of updating an anti-virus application including an updatable module running on a client terminal. The method includes receiving an update at the client terminal, initializing the updatable module within a sandbox environment and applying the update to the updatable module. Control tests are then run on the updated sandboxed module and if the control tests are passed, the updated module is brought out of the sandbox environment and normal scanning is allowed to proceed using the updated module. If the control tests are not passed, however, normal scanning using the updated module is prevented.
