摘要： Methods, systems, and apparatus, including medium-encoded computer program products, for installing software include receiving a request to install a software product on a device and identifying the software product and the source of the software product based on the request. A message, which includes data identifying the software product and the source of the software product, is transmitted to a remote update device. An authorization message is received from the remote update device indicating whether the source of the software product is authorized to provide the software product. If the authorization message indicates that the source of the software product is authorized to provide the software product, the software product is automatically installed on the device.

摘要： A method and apparatus allow application of licenses, including limited use licenses, to media objects downloaded to a media device. The media object may include elements such as playable content, label/cover art, metadata, promotional versions, or other related information. The limited use license may include terms for use of the playable content over a period of time or for a number of plays/executions. The limited use license may also be tied to a subscription that defines license terms to classes of media objects, such as all music from a given publisher. In one embodiment, the limited use license allows a media object to be played three times over a period of three days.

摘要： A personal computer health administration framework is disclosed that includes a set of intercommunicating components. The system includes a provider subsystem that provides services relating to personal computer health status. The services include acquiring health status information relating to the operation of the personal computer. The system also includes a health engine subsystem that receives and processes the health status information acquired by the provider subsystem. The health engine subsystem thereafter renders health status notifications. A client user interface subsystem, consumes the notifications of the health engine subsystem and reports personal computer health status information to users in accordance with the health status notifications.

摘要： A method and system for verifying whether basic security is installed, up-to-date, and functioning on a computer. A user interface is provided that provides prescription items that are associated with status indicators that readily indicate the status of the prescription items. An overall status indicator readily indicates whether the security of the computer needs attention. The user may select which types of security vulnerabilities for which the user wishes to receive notification. The user may indicate that the user will be responsible for monitoring third party solutions that are not detected by the security center.

摘要： Automated device web log (“blog”) creation is described. Data associated with a computing device is automatically gathered and transmitted to a server. The gathered data may include, but is not limited to, configuration data, reliability data, health data, performance data, user-entered problem reports, and so on. The server formats the data as a blog for presentation to a user associated with the computing device for which the blog was created.

摘要： A method and system for communicating emergency information about computer security threats together with mitigating actions that may be performed depending on the configuration of each computer. A secure package that includes a message regarding a threat and that potentially includes a script including actions to mitigate the threat is created. The secure package is published to make it available for downloading. The alert package is downloaded by a set of computers, and the message and the script (if any) are extracted. Stats and other feedback from the computers that download the alert package may be provided.

摘要： The present invention extends to checking for and accessing software component updates through a common content manager. A content communication aggregates the received message states of software components into a aggregated update request representing the message state of the software components. The content communication manager sends and a content manger receives the aggregated update request. The content manager determines if updated content for any software components is available. The content manager generates a message list including any messages that are to be sent to the one or more software components. Each message in the message list corresponds to a software component and indicating if any content is available for the software component. The content manager sends and the content communication manager receives the message list. The content communication manager distributes messages to corresponding software components such that the software components can subsequently access any available content.

摘要： A framework and associated methods for monitoring, reporting, and notifying with respect to security protection levels on a computer. For each security threat, a baseline level of protection is defined. A schema is configured to define fields usable by a security provider to indicate a level of protection provided by the security provider. Using the schema, the fields may be stored in a repository. Each time a security provider changes states with respect to level of protection, the appropriate field or fields in the repository are updated. Consumer applications may read from the repository at any time to obtain information that indicates the level of protection. Applications may be informed when data within the repository changes.
