SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DISTRIBUTION OF FILES BETWEEN VIRTUAL MACHINES ENTERING DISTRIBUTED SYSTEM OF VIRTUAL MACHINES TO IMPLEMENT ANTI-VIRUS CHECK Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC G06F21/56 G06F21/53 

FIELD: information technology.

SUBSTANCE: system contains a "protected virtual machine" that interacts with two "virtual defense machines", while the "protected virtual machine" contains a task creation tool; means of collection; means of calculating dynamics; means for selecting the "virtual protection machine" based on the obtained dependence of the effectiveness of the anti-virus scan; determining the time for the start of the anti-virus scan so that the anti-virus scan is completed no later than the set time and at least one of the criteria is fulfilled - the anti-virus scan takes the shortest time; anti-virus scanning takes less time than specified; a minimum amount of computing resources is required to perform an anti-virus scan; for performing an anti-virus scan, the computing resources are less than the specified; transfer information about the selected "virtual protection machine", which contains the most effective time for starting the anti-virus scan.

EFFECT: reducing the use of the total computing resources of virtual machines during an anti-virus scan.
