摘要： A system and method for preventing malware, spyware and other undesirable applications from affecting mobile communication devices uses a server to assist in identifying and removing undesirable applications. When scanning an application, a device transmits information about the application to a server for analysis. The server receives the information, produces a characterization assessment and can also provide a characterization re-assessment for the application, or data object, and transmits the assessment to the device. By performing analysis on a server, the invention allows a device to reduce the battery and performance cost of protecting against undesirable applications. The servers transmit notifications to devices that have installed applications that are discovered to be undesirable. The server can accumulate this data and then perform a characterization re-assessment of a data object it has previously assessed to provide an assessment based upon one of trust, distribution and ratings information.

摘要： To prevent malware, spyware and other undesirable applications from affecting mobile communication devices (e.g., smartphones, netbooks, and tablets), a device uses a server to assist in identifying and removing undesirable applications. When scanning an application, a device transmits information about the application to a server for analysis. The server receives the information, produces a categorization assessment and can provide a categorization re-assessment, and transmits the assessment to the device. By performing analysis on a server, a device can reduce its battery and performance cost of protecting against undesirable applications. The server transmits notifications to devices that have installed applications that are discovered to be undesirable. The server receives data about applications from many devices, using the combined data to minimize false positives and provide comprehensive protection against known and unknown threats. The server can accumulate this data and perform a categorization re-assessment of a data object previously assessed.

摘要翻译： 为了防止恶意软件，间谍软件和其他不期望的应用程序影响移动通信设备（例如智能手机，上网本和平板电脑），设备使用服务器来帮助识别和删除不期望的应用程序。 扫描应用程序时，设备将有关应用程序的信息发送到服务器进行分析。 服务器接收信息，产生分类评估，并提供分类重新评估，并将评估传送到设备。 通过在服务器上执行分析，设备可以减少其电池和性能成本，以防止不期望的应用。 服务器向已安装被发现不合需要的应用程序的设备发送通知。 服务器从许多设备接收有关应用程序的数据，使用组合数据来最小化误报，并提供针对已知和未知威胁的全面保护。 服务器可以累积此数据，并对先前评估的数据对象进行分类重新评估。
