摘要:
A malware Web service provides malware information to client computing devices. A client computing device formulates a malware information query, and submits the query to the malware Web service. The malware information query specifies criteria relating to a plurality of searchable fields in a malware data store. Upon receiving the malware information query, the malware Web service retrieves the requested information from the malware data store, formats the requested information, and returns the information to the requesting client computing device. In one embodiment, the requested malware information is formatted according to a predetermined schema, such that the returned results are programmatically consumable by a computing device.
