  • Patent number: 6944775
    Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for scanning data utilizing multiple scanning engines. Initially, a request for data to be scanned for viruses is generated utilizing a scanning interface. Thereafter, such request to scan data is sent to a plurality of scanning engines utilizing an engine interface application control module coupled between the scanning interface and the scanning engines. The request is adapted for prompting the scanning engines to scan the data and respond with events upon locating a virus. Such events are then received utilizing an event processor module coupled to the scanning engines and the engine interface application control module for processing the events. The processed events are then sent to the engine interface application control module for being monitored by the scanning interface.
