A method and apparatus for aggregating notices and alerts (alerts) into an aggregate machine readable feed wherein the alerts are retrieved from various information sources. One embodiment of the invention is a method and apparatus providing an alert via an aggregate machine readable feed, comprising receiving an alert from various information sources, converting the retrieved alert into an aggregate machine readable format, and placing the aggregate machine readable formatted alert into an aggregate machine readable feed.

A parental policy is enforced for online purchases. A parent enters a parental policy indicating items that are prohibited for a child. When the child attempts to add an item to a wish list, it is determined whether the item is permitted according to the policy. If so, the addition of the item to the wish list is allowed to proceed. If the policy prohibits the item, the addition of the item to the wish list is blocked. Additionally, the parent can be informed (via email, telephone, etc.) of the attempt to add the item to the wish list. The same logic can be applied to attempts to purchase items for children, or attempts to purchase items by children.

A computer-implemented method for determining a file set may include identifying a file set and identifying a key file for the file set. The method may also include transmitting a key-file identifier to a second computing system. A first computing system may receive first and second file identifiers from a second computing system. The first computing system may determine whether the file set comprises a file identified by the first file identifier, and whether the file set comprises a file identified by the second file identifier. The method also includes transmitting a result of the determination to the second computing system. A method for determining a file set on a second computing device is also disclosed. Corresponding systems and computer-readable media are also disclosed.

A computer, computer program product, and method prioritize a web crawler target link queue using referrer context information associated with a remote object link. An access statistics collection module detects links to remote objects and retrieves referrer context information for the links. An access statistics back end module receives and stores the referrer context information from the access statistics collection module. The referrer context information is analyzed by a target list prioritization module that uses the results of the analysis to prioritize a target queue of a web crawler. The referrer context information is an important resource in identifying information about how a link spreads, e.g., for threat detection or identification of popular links for indexing to produce more relevant search results.

Threat emergence dates as well as file modification and scanning history are tracked to determine which files need to be scanned for possible infection by various attacking agents. Information concerning which scan engines are used to scan for the presence of different attacking agents is also tracked. Where given files only need to be scanned for a subset of all possible threats and the relevant scanning code resides in only a subset of all the scan engines, only the required scan engines are initialized, loaded or called in order to scan those files.
摘要:
A computer-implemented method for using guardian proximity to control computing activities of children. The method may include determining that a child is attempting to access a computing system and determining whether a guardian of the child is in proximity of the computing system. The method may also include limiting the child's access to one or more resources of the computing system if the guardian of the child is not in proximity of the computing system and permitting the child to access the one or more resources of the computing system if the guardian of the child is in proximity of the computing system.

An exemplary method for using USB device descriptors to uniquely identify computing environments may include: 1) detecting a set of USB devices connected to a computing device within a computing environment, 2) obtaining a USB device descriptor for each USB device within the set of USB devices, and then 3) creating an environmental signature for the computing environment that identifies the computing environment based at least in part on the USB device descriptors. Exemplary methods for using such environmental signatures to uniquely identify computing environments are also disclosed.
摘要:
Successful logins are distinguished from unsuccessful logins, and only when a login is successful are the user's login credentials stored and associated with the appropriate login page. Attempts by a user to login to a login page with a set of login credentials are identified. It is determined whether an attempt to login to a given login page with a set of login credentials is successful. If the attempt by the user to login to the login page with the set of login credentials is successful, the set of login credentials can be stored and associated with the login page. If the attempt fails, the credentials are not saved.
摘要:
A method of automating an authentication sequence for accessing a computer resource comprising processing form information associated with the authentication sequence, wherein the authentication sequence comprises a plurality of queries associated with a plurality of web pages; and communicating a response to a portion of the authentication sequence using form information that corresponds to a query upon recognition of indicia of the portion of the plurality of web pages where the portion comprises the query.
摘要:
An anomalous process behavior manager uses statistical information concerning running processes to detect and manage process behavioral anomalies. The anomalous process behavior manager collects per process statistical data over time, such as resource allocation statistics and user interaction statistics. Current collected statistical data is analyzed against corresponding historical statistical data to determine whether processes are behaving in expected ways relative to past performance. Appropriate corrective steps are taken when it is determined that a process is behaving anomalously. For example, the process's blocking exclusions can be revoked, the process can be uninstalled, the process and/or the computer can be scanned for malicious code, the user can be alerted and/or relevant information can be shared with other parties.
