Patent number: 9690939Abstract: A method of safe file transmission and reputation lookup is provided. As a part of the safe file transmission and reputation lookup methodology, a data file that is to be made available to a data file receiver is accessed and it is determined whether the data file needs to be provided a protective file. The data file is wrapped in a protective file to create a non-executing package file. Access is provided to the non-executing package file where the associated data file is prevented from being executed until data file reputation information is received.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Geoff Hulten, John Scarrow, Ivan Osipkov, Kristofer N.

Patent number: 9652614Abstract: Technologies for an application reputation service to assist users with minimizing their computerized machines' exposure to and infection from malware, including an application reputation service that contains the reputations for elements (e.g., applications) that are known to be non-malicious as well as those known to be malicious. In one example, when a user attempts to install or execute a new application, the service is queried by the user's machine with a set of identities for the element. The service determines the reputation of the application by referencing a knowledge base of known reputations and returns an indication (e.g., an overall rating, or a flag) of how safe that application would be to install and run on the user's computer.Type: GrantFiled: June 12, 2014Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: MICROSOFT TECHNOLOGY LICENSING, LLCInventors: Geoff Hulten, Paul Steve Rehfuss, Ron Franczyk, Christopher A. Meek, John Scarrow, Andrew Newman

Publication number: 20140298465Abstract: The claimed subject matter is directed to the use of an application reputation service to assist users with minimizing their computerized machines' exposure to and infection from malware. Specifically, the claimed subject matter provides a method and system of an application reputation service that contains the reputations for elements that are known to be non-malicious as well as those known to be malicious. One embodiment of the claimed subject matter is implemented as a method to determine the reputation of an element (e.g., an application). When a user attempts to install or execute a new application, the Application Reputation Service is queried by the user's machine with a set of identities for the element. The Application Reputation Service determines the reputation of the application by referencing a knowledge base of known reputations and returns an indication (e.g., an overall rating, or a flag) of how safe that application would be to install and run on the user's computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2014Publication date: October 2, 2014Inventors: Geoff Hulten, Paul Steve Rehfuss, Ron Franczyk, Christopher A.
