  • Patent number: 9208316
    Abstract: Features are described for detecting and disabling potentially harmful items that are embedded within or referenced by network resources such as web pages. A network node, remote from a user's computing device, can compare content portions to a repository of content portions which are known to be harmful, or to a blacklist of resources which are known to be harmful. The network node can take preventative actions based on the nature of the threat and the nature of the resource. For example, the network node can modify or remove portions of source code, replace interactive content with static images, and/or disable objects. Other features include providing users with a mechanism to override the preventative measures and receive the original unprocessed content. The network node can monitor the user overrides and fine tune its detection of harmful content.
