  • Patent number: 8677493
    Abstract: A method for providing malware cleaning includes detecting potential malware on a first device connected to a network. A request including information to allow a second device connected to the network to determine an appropriate cleaning response is sent from the first device to the second device over the network. Upon receiving the request, the second device attempts to identify an appropriate cleaning response and, if a response is identified, sends the cleaning response over the network to the first device. The cleaning response is usable by the first device to address the detected potential malware.

  • Publication number: 20110321160
    Abstract: Systems and method to detect malicious media file are described. In one example, an apparatus including a network connection, a memory, and a programmable processor communicatively coupled to the memory is discussed. The memory can include instructions, which when executed by the programmable processor cause the apparatus to receive a data stream from the network connection and detect at least a portion of a media file within the data stream. The instructions can also cause the apparatus to determine a file type of the media file and extract the media file from the data stream. Further, the instructions cause the apparatus to parse the media file to location a suspicious tag, extract an embedded URL from the suspicious tag, determine with the embedded URL is malicious, and block the media file if the embedded URL is malicious.
