Zusammenfassung:	Updating a central repository with information about malware resident upon a computer system. Upon detecting the malware executing in a virtual machine, a software module, without manual instruction, sends malware manifest data to a central repository over a network. The malware manifest data may comprise a copy of the malware and data identifying or comprising a set of files infected by the malware. The central repository may receive, over a network from at least two computer systems, distinct sets of malware manifest data and may subsequently store the sets of malware manifest data.
