Abstract
A method for performing content analysis of a plurality of resources is provided. The method includes performing background content scanning on the plurality of resources based on a resource priority queue. The method also includes storing already scanned resources of the plurality of resources in a scan result database. The method further includes receiving a first access request asynchronously with the scanning and the storing. The method yet also includes, if the first access request pertains to a given resource not contemporaneously designated as a satisfactory scan result according to the scan result database, granting the given resource a higher priority in the resource priority queue than resources remaining to be scanned in the plurality of resources, thereby enabling the given resource to be scanned ahead of the resources remaining to be scanned.
