ABSTRACT:
A method, system and program product for maximizing virus check coverage, while minimizing redundancy in virus checking. The method includes evaluating, using an audit checking tool, whether or not a file in a working directory to be virus checked is a compressed file and, if the file is evaluated as being a compressed file, decompressing the compressed file evaluated using a decompression tool. Further, the method includes iterating the evaluating and decompressing steps to decompress any other files contained therein using the decompression tool and deleting a respective compressed file that is fully decompressed by the decompression tool without any errors from the working directory, while saving a respective compressed file that is not fully decompressed by the decompression tool. Furthermore, the method includes virus checking the working directory, such that, the virus checking does not virus check the respective compressed file that is deleted from the working directory.
