Abstract:
The viruses not only infect the stand-alone machines or client
machines but also infect the web servers. When the web servers are infected
with viruses, they disseminate infected content and thereby infect the client
computers. The conventional anti-virus programs can run only on one machine.
There is no way that an anti-virus in the client machine can determine whether
the content of a website is virus safe or not. Hence, different methods are
implemented to prevent the client computer from being infected by the infected
content of a web server.
One proposed efficient method is to get scanned by the
search engines and display the reliability of the content along with the search
results (Patent 6721721). Looking at the reliability status in the search
results, the user knows which web pages are reliable and which web pages are
not reliable. Similarly, another proposed efficient method is to use a
certificate server to certify the content of the web servers. This also helps
users to know which content is virus-scanned (and hence reliable) and which
content is not (Patent 7107618).
