Abstract: A network monitoring program automatically sorts fault producing locations on a network. A memory unit stores a fault location determining table containing events indicative of failures of communications via the network, the events being associated with classified elements which can be causes of faults on the network. A communication situation monitoring unit monitors communication situations with respect to other apparatus on the network. A failure detecting unit detects an event indicative of a failure from a communication situation detected by the communication situation monitoring unit. A fault location determining unit determines an element which is responsible for the event detected by the failure detecting unit by referring to the fault location determining table. A fault information output unit outputs fault information representative of a determined result from the fault location determining unit.

Abstract: A dummy client accesses each channel of a chat system. When a message is transmitted from a client to a channel, the dummy client checks the content of the message. If the message satisfies a predetermined sentence condition, the dummy client executes a process corresponding to the sentence condition and to the content of each sentence segment included in the message.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a messaging virus protection program and the like for dealing with messaging viruses transmitted along with the movement of electronic information. This messaging virus protection program causes a computer to execute the steps of judging whether or not processing is to be performed in a warning mode based on information which either warns or does not warn of a new type of messaging virus, determining whether or not there is a danger of viral infection in case of a warning mode, storing the received electronic information in cases where it is determined that there is a danger, and delivering the received electronic information in cases where it is determined that there is no danger and, in case of not the warning mode, performing processing for the received electronic information based on the characteristics of known messaging viruses.
