The iterative detection and treatment of viruses using virus detection objects and virus treatment objects is disclosed. Pursuant to a request for a virus scan, a virus detection object is produced by a server and is transmitted to a client for execution. The client receives and executes the virus detection object, and the results are transmitted to the server. The server uses the results to produce an additional virus detection object which is also transmitted to the client and executed so that the results can be transmitted to the server. The iterative production and execution of virus detection objects is continued until a determination is made as to whether the targeted file or data includes a virus. Upon a determination that a targeted file or data includes a virus, a vaccine specifically tailored to the conditions presented at the client and the type of virus detected is produced, preferably in the form of a virus treatment object. The request for a virus scan can be directly made or indirectly by a triggering event. One virus detection server embodiment includes a virus information expert system that applies conditional data to predetermined knowledge about virus scanning to make determinations such as when to scan for viruses. A network diagnosis and treatment application includes a diagnostic data module, an expert system, and a maintenance requesting module. The expert system applies the diagnostic data to predetermined knowledge about the diagnosis and maintenance of a network to make determinations upon which maintenance requests are made. Preferably, the expert system includes a virus information expert system. |

DETAILED DESCRIPTION In accordance with the present invention a virus detection server is provided for centralized access and iterative techniques are provided to effectively detect and treat viruses.
In one aspect of the present invention, viruses are iteratively detected at a client computer.
A substantial portion of the tools and information required for the detection and treatment of viruses is provided in a centralized location such as a server, preferably an internet or world wide web server.
This virus detection server operates in conjunction with a client to determine whether viruses reside at the client.
A virus scan is initiated when a request is received or directed at the virus detection server.
The request is direct or can be initiated by various triggering events, such as a programmed request from the client that does not require ongoing user initiation such that the scan is initiated without a request that it apparent to the user.
Once it is determined by the virus detection server that a valid virus detection request has been received, the virus detection server operates to iteratively detect and treat viruses associated with the requester, typically the client.
The iterative production of virus detection objects allows objects to be specifically tailored according to previously determined conditions and/or conditions discovered as a result of the execution of previously produced virus detection objects.
Specifically, a virus detection object is produced by the virus detection server and is transmitted to the client.
The virus detection object includes an executable program which the client includes a corresponding executing engine.
Thus, when the client receives the virus detection object, it executes the object and produces a result that is transmitted back to the virus detection server.
The results of the execution of the virus detection object are transmitted to the virus detection server so that the server can produce additional virus detection objects based upon the results of the execution of the previous virus detection object or objects
