Abstract
Security components of managed computers are configured using inoculation data. Inoculation data can be retrieved from an inoculation data provider. The inoculation data provider analyzes unauthorized software applications to develop inoculation data. The inoculation data configures the security component to block execution of unauthorized software applications. Inoculation data can be embedded into a script, which is distributed via a management protocol to one or more managed computers from a management computer. Unauthorized software applications can be identified by filenames, storage paths, registry keys, digital signatures, download locations, residuals, and ActiveX controls or classes.
