Abstract

The use of browser context in detecting malware is disclosed. A client device requests content from a remote server. Data received by the client device from the remote server is transmitted to an external scanner for analysis by the external scanner. The external scanner is configured to use a browser executed in an instrumented virtual machine environment to analyze the data provided by the client device. The client device is configured to act as a proxy on behalf of the external scanner.
