Abstract:
A digital good offered for downloading from a first computing system to a client computing device for execution by a browser executing on the client is identified. The digital good is received at a third computing system, where source code for the received digital good includes scripting language code. The code is re-written to include tracking code to track behavior of the digital good during execution of the digital good, and the re-written digital good is executed in a browser run by the third computing system. Based on evaluation of results of executing the re-written digital good, it is automatically determined, by the third computer system, whether the digital good violates one or more predetermined conditions, and based on the determination of whether the digital good violates a predetermined conditions, it is automatically determined whether to discourage downloading the digital good to, or executing the digital good by, the client.
