Method for scanning file, client and server thereof

A method for scanning files, comprising:

• enumerating unscanned files;
• obtaining attributions of the unscanned files from the enumerated files one by one, and transmitting to a server the attributions;
• determining files for local scanning according to the first scanning result fed back from the server;
• locally scanning the determined files for local scanning, and generating a second scanning result;
• integrating the second scanning result with the first scanning result to generate a third scanning result;
• and
• removing the unscanned files corresponding to the files in the third scanning result from an enumerated queue.

A system for scanning files, comprising a client and a server;

• wherein the client comprises:
• one or more client processors;
• and
• a client memory storing computer-executable client codes executable at the one or more client processors, wherein the client codes comprises:
• an enumerating module for enumerating files;
• an attribution obtaining module for obtaining attributions of unscanned files one by one, and transmitting to the server the attributions;
• a file determining module for determining locally unscanned files for the local scanning according to the first scanning result;
• a scanning module for locally scanning the determined files for local scanning, and generating a second scanning result;
• and
• a result integration module for integrating the second scanning result with the first scanning result to generate a third scanning result, and
• wherein the server comprises:
• a database for storing features and the types of the features;
• one or more server processors;
• and
• a server memory storing computer-executable server codes executable at the one or more server processors, wherein the server codes comprises:
• a comparison module for comparing the attribution with the features that are stored, and obtaining those features that are consistent with the attributions and the type that the features belong to;
• and
• a mapping relationship module for generating a mapping relationship between the unscanned files, the attributions and the types according to the features that are consistent with the attributions and the types of the features, and recording the mapping relationship in a first scanning result.

A client for scanning files, comprising:

• one or more client processors;
• and
• a client memory storing computer-executable client codes executable at the one or more client processors, wherein the client codes comprises:
• an enumerating module for enumerating files;
• an attribution obtaining module for obtaining attributions of unscanned files one by one, and transmitting to the server the attributions;
• a file determining module for determining locally unscanned files for the local scanning according to the first scanning result;
• a scanning module for locally scanning the determined files for local scanning, and generating a second scanning result;
• a result integration module for integrating the second scanning result with the first scanning result to generate a third scanning result;
• and
• a removing module for removing the unscanned files corresponding to the files in the third scanning result from the enumerated queue.
