Abstract
Described in detail herein is an infected file detection and quarantine system. A pre-scan staging server can receive a set of data files. The pre-scan staging server can determine a type of each of the data files in the set. The pre-scan staging server can select a virus scan application for each type of data file in the set. The pre-scan staging server can detect whether the data files in the set are infected with a virus or malware in response to execution of the at least one virus scan application for each data file type. The post-scan staging server can receive the uninfected data files. The post-scan staging server can transmit a message including a link for retrieving the uninfected data files.
