  • Method and system for remotely detecting parasite software
    Patent number: 8065413
    Abstract: An IP usage pattern of a first computer system is monitored by a second computer system that is remotely located from the first computer system. The second computer system is associated with an ISP. First parasite software may be identified based on an abnormal change in the IP usage pattern. The abnormal change in the IP usage pattern may be detected by comparing the IP usage pattern to a baseline model of IP usage for the first computer system. Anti-parasite software associated with the first parasite software may be forwarded from the ISP to the first computer system.

  • Method and system for remotely detecting parasite software
    Patent number: 7657625
    Abstract: An Internet Protocol (IP) usage pattern of a first computer system is monitored by a second computer system remotely located from the first computer system. Based on the monitoring, it is determined if the IP usage pattern is abnormal for the first computer system. If the IP usage pattern is abnormal, an alert signal is generated for the first computer system by the second computer system. The alert message indicates a potential presence of parasite software on the first computer system.

  • Method and apparatus for business to consumer channeling over wireless access networks
    Publication number: 20060274740
    Abstract: A network service provider (NSP) (101) has a communications interface (102) coupled to one or more wireless access networks (120) and one or more content service providers (CSPs) (110), a memory (104), and a processor (106). The processor can be programmed to establish (202) a content profile for each of the wireless access networks according to one or more attributes of the wireless access networks and the CSPs, receive (204) a content access request from one or more selective call radios (SCRs) at one among the wireless access networks, and supply (206) each SCR content from one or more of the CSPs according to the content profile.
