Abstract: A search tool enables users to search for synonyms of, and/or syntactically similar words to search terms that they enter. In at least some embodiments, the search tool is implemented in the context of a web browser for searching web pages. In some embodiments, search terms can be distinctly, visually highlighted on a page, such as a web page, to allow the user to easily identify words that have been found through the search. In at least some embodiments, color coding can be used to uniquely identify exact matches, synonyms and/or syntactically similar words that are identified on a page.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for providing a security element that is directed at inhibiting malicious activity by displaying a browser window in such a way that the user can trust and know the source of the window. Additional information and ornamentation is displayed on the window to help ensure that an end user is not confused or misled (“spoofed”) into believing that the window originates from a trusted source. When a call is made to open a browser window, the status bar is displayed by default. The status bar provides additional information, such as the security zone, to the user to help the user in determining the source of the content. The security zone informs the user the location from where the content is originating. This additional information helps to ensure that the user has the necessary information on whether or not to trust the source.

Abstract: In various embodiments, applications that are configured to interact with the Internet in some way are executed in a restricted process with a reduced privilege level that can prohibit the application from accessing portions of an associated computing device. For example, in some embodiments, the restricted process can prohibit applications from read and write access to portions of a system's computer-readable media, such as the hard disk, that contains administrative data and settings information and user data and settings. In these embodiments, a special portion of the disk, termed a “containment zone”, is designated and used by applications in this restricted process.

Abstract: A method and system for preservation of browser window integrity is disclosed. The position and size of script-created windows is adjusted as necessary to preserve critical data on the computer screen prior to rendering those windows. Popup windows are similarly adjusted so that window integrity is preserved. Popup window size is adjusted to be smaller than the vertical size of the popup's parent window. Popup window position is modified so that popups do not extend above the top, or below the bottom, of their parent window. Finally, the popup position in the z dimension is adjusted so that the popup appears immediately above its parent window.

Abstract: A method and system for validating access to a group of related elements are described. The elements within the group access a security context associated with a markup domain when a call is made to an element. An authorized call to an element is enabled such that the markup domain is navigated to a new web page. However, an unauthorized call is prevented so that the navigation to the new web page is not permitted. After the markup domain has been navigated, the security context associated with the markup domain is invalidated. A new security context is generated and associated with the markup domain. The elements associated with the web page navigated from are inaccessible after navigation of the markup domain to the new page. The association of the new security context with the markup domain prevents an unauthorized user from accessing any element that references the previous security context.
