Abstract:

An object of the present invention is to provide an apparatus, a method, and a system for virus detection which can find even an unknown virus easily with no OS dependency. To achieve the foregoing object, the present invention provides a virus detection apparatus including an inspection computer to be connected to a mail server. The inspection computer includes file opening means for opening an attachment of e-mail transferred from said mail server, an I/O port for establishing interface connection with a PC, the PC being connected to the inspection computer to send and receive e-mail to/from the mail server through the inspection computer, virus inspecting means for detecting data of the attachment opened by said file opening means for access to said I/O port to inspect virus invasion, and warning means for outputting a warning signal from the virus inspecting means when access to the I/O port is detected.
