Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for managing access to a file storage device are described. One embodiment is configured to initially allow an anti-pestware process to access the file storage device, and then in response to identifying a process, other than the anti-pestware process, attempting to access the file storage device while the anti-pestware process is accessing the storage device, ceasing to allow the anti-pestware process to access the storage device during an interrupt period. In this embodiment, the interrupt period is limited so as to allow the anti-pestware process to access the storage device of the computer even if the at least one process continues to attempt to access the storage device. In variations, the interrupt period is extended one or more times in response to one or more processes other than the anti-pestware process attempting to access the file storage device.
