Systems, methods, and computer readable media for determining whether a computer file ( 340 ) has been infected by an attacking agent. A scanning engine ( 205 ) generates a new hash of a critical viral target region of the file ( 340 ) and compares it to a stored hash of the critical viral target region. The scanning engine ( 205 ) determines whether the file ( 340 ) has been scanned by the most recent version of a detection module ( 425 ) associated with the attacking agent. If the hashes are identical and the file ( 340 ) has been scanned by the most recent version of the detection module ( 425 ), the scanning engine ( 205 ) determines that the file ( 340 ) is free of infection by the attacking agent.
