A system for managing computer virus infected files includes scrambler logic to scramble the contents of a virus infected file to produce a scrambled virus infected file, a virus bin to safely store the scrambled virus infected file, and unscrambler logic to unscramble the scrambled virus infected file to reproduce the virus infected file for further analysis or cleaning.
