  • Network stream scanning facility
    Patent number: 8607347
    Abstract: In embodiments of the present invention improved capabilities are described for providing a scanning of data associated with a network computer facility. In the process, a request may be received for network content from a content requesting computing facility. A source lookup associated with the request for network content may be performed, where the source lookup may be from a networked source lookup database. The requested network content may then be retrieved, where the type of the content may be determined as a further aid in scanning the content. A checksum of at least a portion of the retrieved network content may then be calculated, and a checksum lookup associated with the portion of the retrieved network content be performed, where the checksum lookup may be from a networked checksum lookup database. Finally, an action may be taken based on at least one of the source lookup and checksum lookup, where the action is associated with protecting the content requesting computing facility from malware.
