Method to scan a forensic image of a computer system with multiple malicious code detection engines simultaneously from a master control point

A system for employing a multi-engine malicious code scanning method for scanning data sets from a storage device, said system comprising:

• a physical server unit having at least a CPU unit, a memory unit, and a duplicator arrangement, wherein said server is configured to accept the installation of a virtual operating system, along with a plurality of independent operating systems;
• where for each of said independent operating systems, a malware engine may be installed, such that said server is configured to maintain a plurality of malware engines, each operating separately on its respective independent operating system;
• said server configured to be physically deliverable to a remote location and to receive at least one data set from a storage device and to generate a single forensic image of said data set;
• said server configured to apply a recover data application to said data set to generate a single recovered data set,
• wherein a user of said server may select a plurality of malware engines for analyzing said single forensic image and said single recovered data set by initiating a scanning of said single forensic image and said single recovered data set using said selected plurality of malware engines,
• wherein each of said malware engines, installed on said independent operating systems of said virtual operating system are run concurrently on said single forensic image and said single recovered data set;
• and
• said server configured to generate and output a combined report for each of said malware engines reporting the results of said scans.
