摘要： Computer-implemented methods and systems for circumventing malicious attempts to block the installation of security-software programs are disclosed. An exemplary method for performing such a task may comprise: 1) detecting, during installation of a security-software program, an error that is indicative of an attack on the security-software program, 2) identifying at least one executable file targeted by the attack on the security-software program, 3) circumventing the attack by dynamically obfuscating the executable file targeted by the attack, and then 4) completing installation of the security-software program.

摘要： Client computers track visited websites and monitor confidential information transmitted to the visited websites. Upon subsequent identification of a website as malicious or compromised, it is determined whether the unsecure website was visited, and if so, whether any confidential information was exposed to the unsecure website. Clients compile statistical reports concerning confidential information transmitted to unsecure websites, and provide these reports to a central server. The central server uses statistical reports received from a wide distribution of clients to maintain comprehensive statistical data indicating exposure of confidential information to unsecure websites. This comprehensive statistical data can be used for purposes such as damage assessment, trend tracking and profiling of suspected malicious websites.

摘要： File resources that are most likely to be used on a target computer are proactively cached, so that the resources are available before they are needed. This greatly reduces or eliminates associated user wait times. It is determined which file resources are most likely to be used, the cost of transmitting them to the cache, the cost of storing them in the cache and the amount of cache space available. Based on a weighted balancing analysis of factors such as these, specific file resources are proactively streamed for use on the target computer. The determination as to which resources are most likely to be used can be based on a variety of factors, such as usage patterns, schedule based information, user and group based information, target computer and network information, etc.

摘要： A graphical checkout identifier is used to facilitate automatic checkout of a user on a webstore. A graphical identifier checkout system receives a request from a webstore for a onetime use graphical checkout identifier. In response to the received request, a onetime use graphical checkout identifier to be displayed by the webstore is generated. A request for checkout completion information by the webstore is encoded in the graphical checkout identifier, which is transmitted to the webstore for display. The onetime use graphical checkout identifier being displayed by the webstore is captured by a registered user operated computing device. In response, the requested checkout completion information is transmitted to the webstore, such that the user is automatically checked out on the webstore, without the user manually logging in to the webstore or entering the requested checkout completion information.

摘要： An anomalous process behavior manager uses statistical information concerning running processes to detect and manage process behavioral anomalies. The anomalous process behavior manager collects per process statistical data over time, such as resource allocation statistics and user interaction statistics. Current collected statistical data is analyzed against corresponding historical statistical data to determine whether processes are behaving in expected ways relative to past performance. Appropriate corrective steps are taken when it is determined that a process is behaving anomalously. For example, the process's blocking exclusions can be revoked, the process can be uninstalled, the process and/or the computer can be scanned for malicious code, the user can be alerted and/or relevant information can be shared with other parties.

摘要： Whitelists are automatically shared between users and/or domains without compromising user/domain privacy. Potential trust partners with whom to share whitelist data are automatically identified. A handshaking procedure is carried out to confirm the trust relationship and verify the partner's identity. Once a trust partner is confirmed, the parties can exchange acceptance criteria specifying the types of whitelist data they want to receive. Each party can provide the other with the appropriate entries from its own whitelist. The parties keep each other updated, as their own whitelists change.

摘要： A Bayesian spam filter determines an amount of content in incoming email messages that it knows from training. If the filter is familiar with a threshold amount of the content, then the filter proceeds to classify the email message as being spam or legitimate. On the other hand, if not enough of the words in the email are known to the filter from training, then the filter cannot accurately determine whether or not the message is spam. In this case, the filter classifies the message as being of type unknown. Different threshold metrics can be used, such as the percentage of known words, and the percentage of maximum correction value used during processing. This greatly improves the processing of emails in languages on which the filter was not trained.

摘要翻译： 贝叶斯垃圾邮件过滤器确定从培训中知道的传入电子邮件中的内容量。 如果过滤器熟悉阈值量的内容，则过滤器继续将电子邮件消息分类为垃圾邮件或合法的。 另一方面，如果电子邮件中的单词不足以使训练过滤器知道，则过滤器不能准确地确定消息是否为垃圾邮件。 在这种情况下，过滤器将消息分类为未知类型。 可以使用不同的阈值度量，例如已知单词的百分比，以及在处理期间使用的最大校正值的百分比。 这大大改善了电子邮件处理过滤器未被训练的语言。

摘要： A parent defines friend rules for on-line association with their child. Upon a request of an on-line stranger to be a new friend of the child, stranger information about the on-line stranger is retrieved and compared to the friend rules to determine whether the stranger is allowed, blocked or restricted from being a friend with the child. Accordingly, the parent only has to use a minimal amount of time in establishing the friend rules to protect the parent's child from on-line strangers.

摘要： Nonsense words are removed from incoming emails and visually similar (look-alike) characters are replaced with the actual, corresponding characters, so that the emails can be more accurately analyzed to see if they are spam. More specifically, an incoming email stream is filtered, and the emails are normalized to enable more accurate spam detection. In some embodiments, the normalization comprises the removal of nonsense words and/or the replacement of look-alike characters according to a set of rules. In other embodiments, more and/or different normalization techniques are utilized. In some embodiments, the language in which an email is written is identified in order to aid in the normalization. Once incoming emails are normalized, they are then analyzed to detect spam or other forms of undesirable email, such as phishing emails.
