Disclosed are various embodiments for inspecting malware with little or no user interruption. A first computing device may compare a source code of an application to a fingerprint stored locally on the first computing device. The first computing device may transmit the source code to a second computing device to determine whether the source code resides in a database comprising approved applications. If the source code does not reside in the database, a thorough scan of the source code may be conducted.
