ABSTRACT:
In one embodiment, a peer-to-peer (P2P) protect server may include a crawler to obtain files available for P2P data transfer. The P2P protect server may employ a scan engine to scan the files for computer viruses, and store the results of the scanning in a database. A P2P protect application running in a P2P client may request the P2P protect server for information on whether or not a particular file available for P2P data transfer is infected with a computer virus. This allows the user of the P2P client to make an informed decision before downloading the file from another P2P client.
