Abstract

See full text

It is detected whenever the user of the local computer system views online content that provides an entryway to a remote application. When such a detection occurs, data concerning the remote application is collected and transmitted to a central repository. The central repository receives and aggregates such collected data from a plurality of sources. It is detected when the user of the local computer system is being prompted to activate a new remote application, and aggregated data concerning the new remote application is retrieved from the central repository. The aggregated data concerning the new remote application is analyzed, and responsive to the analyzing it is determined whether the new remote application is benign. Responsive to determining that the new remote application is not benign, the new remote application can be blocked, and/or a warning can be output to the user.
