  • Publication number: 20080256077
    Abstract: It is possible to easily judge whether a computer device is connected to a network. The judging method includes: a step for detecting position information on predetermined data contained in an external device connected to the network and described on a hypertext which has been read from a storage medium; a step of displaying a connection presence/absence judgment screen containing a message indicating that the predetermined data is displayed at a predetermined position when the computer device is connected to the network according to the hypertext; and a step of displaying the predetermined data at the predetermined position in the connection presence/absence screen if the predetermined data has been acquired from the external device and displaying predetermined alternative data at the predetermined position in the connection presence/absence judgment screen if the predetermined data has not been acquired from the external device.

  • Publication number: 20070174913
    Abstract: A processing unit (100) executing a network connection control program (17) detects an activation instruction for a mailer (13) or a browser (14). Upon detection of the activation instruction, a dial-up program (15) is activated and a network connection is established, so that a definition file amendment acquisition program (18) is activated and amendment of a definition file is acquired from a server (20). After this, the mailer (13) or the browser (14) whose activation has been instructed is activated.

  • Publication number: 20060288414
    Abstract: There is disclosed a system for detecting virus infection in a network and preventing the virus infection. Decoy means (13, 14, 15) accessible through the network (1) are arranged on a storage unit (12). The system comprises a communication information analysis means (16) that detects virus intrusion into the decoy means (13, 14, 15), and upon detection of the virus intrusion, detecting a computer as a source of the virus based on the communication information acquired upon the virus intrusion; and a computer attack means (17) that performs antivirus attack processing on the virus source computer through the network for suppressing action of the virus. Attack by the computer attack means (17) of a monitoring computer (10) is continued until the infected computer (5) is identified and the virus is removed by the administrator.

  • Publication number: 20030225844
    Abstract: An information collection system of the present invention automatically analyzes electronic mails, which are described in different formats and transmitted from diverse virus eradicating application programs, extracts required information from the analyzed electronic mails, and automatically registers the required information into a database. A diversity of virus eradicating application programs used for protection against viruses run on respective devices and computers connecting with a network. Each of the virus eradicating application programs works individually and, as occasion demands, transmits information including its working record in the form of an electronic mail to a mail server 8 included in the information collection system. The transmitted electronic mails are kept in a mail box 9 of the mail server 8. The information collection system also includes a host computer 10, which stores multiple structural definitions 18 therein.

  • Publication number: 20030212797
    Abstract: In a setting management system for network connection of the present invention, a server 10 manages various sites and a network 30. The server 10 fetches current setting values with regard to network connection from a client 20, which is newly connected to the network 30. The server 10 refers to a client datable 11, a site database 12, and a sub-components memory module 13, specifies one or multiple sub-components and one or multiple indicated setting values for optimization, and sends the sub-components and the indicated setting values to the client 20. The client 20 optimizes the settings for network connection by means of the sub-components, based on the indicated setting values. This arrangement enables the settings for network connection to be automatically optimized in the client that is newly connected to the network.

  • Publication number: 20030212756
    Abstract: In a download management system of the present invention, when a request of access to a data file specified by a URL is sent directly to a server 10, the server 10 rejects the access to the specified data file. When the user selects a desired data file to be downloaded out of a file list 22 on a display of a terminal device 3, on the other hand, a browser 7 installed in the terminal device 3 sends a file number 17 and a download request command 18, which correspond to the selected desired data file, to the server 10. A download management module 12 of the server 10 retrieves a URL of a data file corresponding to the file number 17 and transmits the URL to the browser 7 of the terminal device 3. The results of downloading are recorded in a management data file 14. This arrangement ensures sufficient and effective download management, which data file is downloaded via a network to what computer under management.
