ABSTRACT:
A computer includes a file system that supports virtualization. A scanning module identifies a file to be scanned for malware and a virtualized file detection module determines whether the file is virtualized. A file retrieval module locates a virtualized version of the file if the file is determined to be virtualized, and a malware detection module determines whether the virtualized version of the file contains malware. If malware is found, the malware detection module takes remedial action to address any security threat posed by the malware.
