Abstract
Apparatus and method for transforming Web resources into safe versions such that malicious code on the resources cannot attack the client viewing the resources. The invention separates the processing of insecure code from the processing of benign code. For Web pages, the benign code is displayed immediately to the client while insecure code is processed on a separate machine. Once insecure code is processed, benign outputs of that code are passed to the client for display. The invention safeguards the client against known and zero day exploits without requiring a catalog of malware/virus signatures, heavyweight code checkers, complete page re-writing or highly restrictive access policies. The invention provides the client with complete malware blocking while retaining most of the original functionality of the Web resource.
