Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for improved capabilities in the detection of malware, where malware threats are detected through the accumulated identification of threat characteristics for targeted computer objects. Methods and systems include dynamic threat detection providing a first database that correlates a plurality of threat characteristics to a threat, wherein a presence of the plurality of the threat characteristics confirms a presence of the threat; detecting a change event in a computer run-time process; testing the change event for a presence of one or more of the plurality of characteristics upon detection of the change event; storing a detection of one of the plurality of characteristics in a second database that accumulates detected characteristics for the computer run-time process; and identifying the threat when each one of the plurality of characteristics appears in the second database.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for improving network quality of service, such as through controlling the bandwidth consumed by a client computing facility. To affect this, the software applications operating through the client computing facility may be identified to determine which applications are requesting network access, and confirming which are permitted only restricted bandwidth when making network communications. The requesting software application that is permitted only restricted bandwidth may then be allowed to make the network communications through a bandwidth restricted network connection.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for providing access to network content. Certain embodiments provide a proxy system for providing access to network content. The system includes a content retriever for retrieving a first content on a network. The content retriever is configured to pre-fetch additional content linked or connected to the first content. The system also includes a content analyzer for analyzing the first content and the pre-fetched additional content according to a content policy and allowing access to the first content and the pre-fetched additional content in accordance with the content policy. The system further includes a content renderer for rendering allowed content for provision to a user upon user request. The renderer can also modify links to content based on a status of the linked content.

Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for receiving contextual information relating to a client request for content, determining that content delivered in response to the client request is restricted content through a scanning facility, and communicating the contextual information to a central repository for use in detection rules generation. Further, the content may be delivered to the central repository along with the contextual information.
