Abstract:
A method and system to accelerate data processing for mal-ware detection and elimination in a data network are disclosed. In one embodiment, the method comprises receiving a first data stream via a data transmission medium; storing the first data stream in a first-in-last-out stack with additional data; receiving a second data stream; searching the first-in-last-out stack to find a matching data stream, the data stream having a scan status; and associating the scan status with the second data stream if the matching data stream is found.
