Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method for anticipating file-security queries may include (1) monitoring queries from client devices for information that describes the security of files, (2) determining that a threshold number of the client devices are querying for information describing the security of a file within a threshold amount of time, (3) anticipating, based on the determination, that at least one client device that did not query for the information will query for the information, and (4) delivering, in response to anticipating that the client device that did not query for the information will query for the information, the information to the client device that did not query for the information. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
