In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises, determining whether there is a record about a file in a verdict cache, when there is, assigning the verdict found in the verdict cache to the file, and when no record is found in the verdict cache, determining whether the file is currently being scanned in a parallel thread, when the file is currently being scanned in a parallel thread, blocking the scanning of the file until the scanning in the parallel thread is completed, and placing a result of the scanning in the parallel thread in the verdict cache, and when the file is not currently being scanned in a parallel thread, performing the scanning of the file on a current thread, and placing a result of the scanning on the current thread in the verdict cache.
