Abstract: A network adapter system and associated method are provided. Included is a network adapter having a plurality of designated trusted and untrusted ports. The network adapter includes a processor coupled to a computer. Such processor is further coupled to a network via the ports. In use, the processor is configured for conditionally preventing network traffic from accessing the computer from the network via the untrusted ports and/or preventing unauthorized software from accessing the network in an untrusted manner from the computer.

Abstract: A method of the present invention generally comprises receiving an electronic mail message and determining whether the electronic message is an unsolicited message. If the message is an unsolicited message, it is examined to identify a network address relating to the message and an authority hosting the network address. A report is then generated containing the identified network address and the hosting authority.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for detecting an unwanted message. First, an electronic mail message is received. Text in the electronic mail message is decomposed. Statistics associated with the text are gathered using a statistical analyzer. The statistics are analyzed for determining whether the electronic mail message is an unwanted message.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for preventing an outbreak of malicious code. First, malicious code is identified at a local location on a network. Information relating to the malicious code such as type, context, protocol, severity, reporting server, and IP address, is encrypted at the local location. The encrypted information relating to the malicious code is sent to a plurality of remote locations utilizing the network. Instances of the malicious code are blocked at the remote locations for a predetermined amount of time based on the information.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided for detecting an unwanted message. First, an electronic mail message is received. Text in the electronic mail message is decomposed. Statistics associated with the text are gathered using a statistical analyzer. A neural network engine coupled to the statistical analyzer is taught to recognize unwanted messages based on statistical indicators. The statistical indicators are analyzed utilizing the neural network engine for determining whether the electronic mail message is an unwanted message.
