Virus detection method and device, electronic equipment and storage medium

The invention relates to a virus detection method and device, electronic equipment and a storage medium. The method can comprise the following steps: acquiring historical information of virus detection corresponding to a target file in a storage system; according to historical information of virus detection corresponding to the target file, whether virus detection is carried out on the target file or not is determined; when it is determined that virus detection is performed on the target file, sending a request for performing virus detection on the target file to a target anti-virus system; therefore, whether virus detection is performed on the target file is determined according to the historical information of virus detection corresponding to the target file, so that repeated virus detection on the file content subjected to virus detection can be avoided on the premise of ensuring data security, thereby saving network bandwidth overhead, saving virus detection time and improving the detection efficiency.
