Abstract

A system that employs out-of-process (‘out-of-proc’) architectures with respect to malware scanning related to network services applications is provided. The ‘out-of-proc’ malware (e.g., virus) scanning is employed in connection with a web conferencing server. This architecture enables more versatile options related to scanning, for example, selective bypass in a crisis situation.
