1. An anti-malware scanning system comprising:
- a host; and
a chip which is removably connected to the host, receives a file to be scanned from the host, and scans whether malware exists in the received file,wherein, if a size of the file to be scanned is larger than a storage capacity of a storage unit of the chip, the host adjusts the size of the file to be scanned according to the storage capacity of the storage unit of the chip and transmits the adjusted file to the chip, andwherein the host adjusts the size of the file to be scanned to a size determined by the chip.

Abstract
Provided are an anti-malware scanning system and a method thereof. The system includes: a host; and a chip which is removably connected to the host, receives a file to be scanned from the host, and scans whether malware exists in the file, wherein the host adjusts a size of the file to be scanned to correspond to a storage capacity of a storage unit of the chip and transmits the adjusted file to the chip. Accordingly, scanning is performed effectively even in an environment in which resources of the anti-malware scanning system are limited.
