Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for certifying that data transferred from a first computer to a recipient computer is free from viruses identified by an anti-virus database. Data is scanned for viruses before it is sent from the first computer. A certificate identifying said data as being scanned for viruses is attached if no viruses are found during scanning. The data is sent with the certificate from the first computer to a recipient computer.
