Abstract
A method and system for efficiently scanning a computer storage volume for pestware is described. One embodiment determines whether a file on the storage device has been modified since it was last scanned for pestware; includes the file in a set of files to be scanned for pestware when it is determined that the file has been modified since it was last scanned for pestware; omits the file from the set of files to be scanned for pestware when it is determined that the file has not been modified since it was last scanned for pestware; scans the files in the set of files for pestware; and reports results of the pestware scan to a user.
