Abstract
System, method and medium for securely transferring untrusted files from a portable storage medium to a computer. The invention can filter, scan and detonate untrusted files to be transferred to a computer from a portable storage medium. First, the types of files which are eligible to be selected for transfer are limited, by file type and/or content. Second, each file selected for transfer is scanned against a collection of signatures of known malware. Thus, files contain malware which has been previously identified as such can be blocked from ever being transferred to the computer. Finally, each file to be transferred is detonated by opening it in a controlled, sterile environment to determine if it adversely impact the operation of that sterile environment. Malware detected in this way can then be added to the collection of malware that can be detected by the second step.
