摘要:
Behavior based signatures for identifying applications are generated. An application is monitored as it runs. Specific behaviors concerning the execution of the application are detected, and a behavior based signature representing detected behaviors is created, such that the behavior based signature can be used subsequently to identify instances of the application. Behavior based signatures identifying known malicious and/or non-malicious applications can be used to determine whether other applications comprise malware. To do so, a running application is monitored, and specific behaviors concerning the execution of the application are detected. The detected behaviors are compared to one or more behavior based signatures. Responsive to whether the detected behaviors match, a behavior based signature, it can be determined whether the application comprises malware. An additional malware detection test, such as a heuristic analysis, can also be performed and used in determining whether the application comprises malware.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for detecting malware transmission through a web portal is provided. In one embodiment, a method for detecting malicious software transmission through the web portal comprises accessing a security scan history that comprises information regarding a plurality of executables that are scanned upon executable creation and comparing current executable creation activity with the security scan history to identify at least one executable that is not scanned.

A method and apparatus for detecting potentially misleading visual representation objects to secure a computer is described. In one embodiment, the method includes monitoring visual representation object creation with respect to the browser, accessing verification information, wherein the verification information comprises commonly used user interface elements for forming legitimate system messages, examining web data associated with the created visual representation objects, wherein the web data is compared with the verification information to identify imitating content within the created visual representation objects and modifying at least one of the created visual representation objects to accentuate the imitating content.

A method and apparatus for securing a computer from malicious threats through generic remediation is described. In one embodiment, the method for securing a computer from malicious threats through generic remediation includes processing at least one malicious threat to the computer, wherein the at least one malicious threat is not associated with a specific remediation technique and examining information regarding prior remediation of the at least one malicious threat by at least one computer to determine at least one remediation technique for the at least one malicious threat.
