Abstract

Systems, methods and apparatus for malware detection detect and stop the distribution of malware and other undesirable content before such content reaches computing systems. A malware detection service external to network edges of a system receives a request from a computer within the system, the request identifying a signature associated with content. The service determines a status indicator of the content using the signature, and transmits the status indicator to the computer.
