System, method and program product for scanning files for a virus. A multiplicity of files which have been accessed since a previous virus scan are identified. Based on the identifications of the multiplicity of files which have been accessed since a previous virus scan, the multiplicity of files are scanned for viruses.

The scanning of the multiplicity of files for viruses can be performed by scanning the multiplicity of files in a priority order. The priority order can be based on a type of extension of the multiplicity of files or an elapsed time since the files of the multiplicity were accessed and not scanned for viruses.
