    摘要: An anti-virus system provider distributes an e-mail identifying content filtering rule seeking to identify e-mail messages suspected of containing an item of malware from a central source (20) to users (2). This distribution may be by an e-mail message itself which is appropriately signed and encrypted. At the user system (2), the received e-mail identifying content filtering rule is extracted from the e-mail message and added to the content filtering rules (18) being applied within that user system. In this way, malware which is distributed by e-mail may be identified by characteristics of its carrier e-mail rather than characteristics of the malware itself which not yet have been properly analyzed or the mechanisms for detecting such characteristics of the malware itself not yet put in place.

    摘要: Received e-mail messages are subject to a minimum delay period determined in dependence upon characteristics of the e-mail message received. Prior to release of the e-mail message upon expiry of the minimum delay period a check is made that the most up-to-date anti-virus and anti-spamming tests have been applied to the e-mail message. Characteristics that may be used to determine the minimum delay period applied include sender characteristics, recipient characteristics, attachment type characteristics and message content type characteristics.

    摘要: A method in one example implementation includes selecting at least one criterion for controlling data transmission from within a virtual machine. At least one application is included within the virtual machine, which includes a policy module. The selected criterion corresponds to at least one policy associated with the policy module. The method also includes evaluating the selected criterion of the policy to permit an attempt to transmit the data from within the virtual machine. In more specific embodiments, the policy may include a plurality of criteria with a first selected criterion permitting transmission of the data to a first application and a second selected criterion prohibiting transmission of the data to a second application. In another specific embodiment, the method may include updating the policy module through an administration module to modify the selected criterion.

    摘要: Pre-emptive malware scanning of user specified operating system 10, 12 defined storage locations is performed to establish whether those storage locations contain any malware containing computer files. If the storage locations are malware-free, then they are classified as clean storage locations and subsequent read accesses to those storage locations will be permitted without requiring further malware scanning. Writes to clean storage locations will continue to be malware scanned.

    摘要: A source computer 2 having a copy of a computer file that it is desired to download to a plurality of target computers issues broadcast messages via a computer network linked to those target computers. The broadcast messages indicate the availability of the computer file for download and include a download qualifying parameter. The download qualifying parameter is used by receiving target computers to determine whether or not they qualify to attempt a download from the source computer in response to the received broadcast message. Only those target computers that do qualify attempt a download. The source computer monitors how many target computers make a download attempt in response to a particular broadcast message and adjusts the download qualifying parameters in subsequent broadcast messages so that the target computers progressively download the new computer file without overloading the source computer.

    摘要: A user of a computer system is provided with warning of unexpected or covert installation attempts using a malware or anti-virus detection engine. Even though the files that are unexpectedly attempted to be installed may be legitimate, rather than malware, the malware detection software is modified or configured to detect the unexpected installation and provide the user with an opportunity to abort the installation. A method of controlling installation of software in a computer system comprises detecting an attempt to install software on the computer system, identifying the software that was attempted to be installed, taking an action in response to identifying the software that was attempted to be installed.

    摘要: A system, method and computer program product are provided for preventing writes to critical files. Initially, factors associated with a computer are identified. Then, requests to write to files on the computer are monitored. The writes to the files on the computer are conditionally prevented based on the factors to prevent virus proliferation. In use, the factors are altered based on the monitoring of the requests.

    摘要: An anti computer virus program uses a library of virus drivers that includes an indication of whether a particular virus can cause irreparable damage and data indicating enhanced user warnings and actions that might be associated with such viruses. If a detected computer virus is one that can cause irreparable damage, then an enhanced user warning (16) is issued indicating this to the user and a notification (28) of the possibility of such corruption is added into the repaired computer file. The notification may take the form of an electronically signed (30) banner message or the like.
