  • Patent number: 8838570
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a web browser running in a client computer is configured to connect to an external server computer upon invocation of a home page or other configurable uniform resource locator. The server computer may receive the IP address of the client computer and check the IP address of the client computer against a listing of IP addresses of known bot-infected computers. The web browser may pass the URL address of the home page as a URL parameter. The server computer may redirect the web browser to the home page or other location when the client computer is not infected by a bot or, when the client computer is bot-infected, to a solutions web page that provides access to a malicious code scanner that may be utilized to remove the bot.
