ABSTRACT:
Methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for rapidly traversing movable storage media during file content examination for malicious computer code. An embodiment of the inventive method comprises the steps of: accessing an enumerated list of electronic files (220) stored on a movable storage medium (420); identifying at least one batch of electronic files (320) stored on the movable storage medium (420); associating each electronic file stored on the movable storage medium (420) within the batch of electronic files with a physical file location on the movable storage medium (310); creating a sorted list electronic files by the file's physical location on the movable storage medium (330); and examining the identified batch of electronic files on the movable storage medium (420) according to the sorted list (340).
