| 20120042009 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR NETWORK ADMINISTRATION AND LOCAL ADMINISTRATION OF PRIVACY PROTECTION CRITERIA - Cookie files are screened in a client machine, wherein a cookie file includes a cookie file source. A request from a subscriber is received at a server to send a list of untrusted cookie file sources to the client machine. The list of untrusted cookie file sources is downloaded from the server to the client machine. The downloaded list of untrusted cookie file sources is used to detect cookie files received at the client machine from cookie file sources on the downloaded list by comparing the cookie file source of any received cookie file to the untrusted cookie file sources on the downloaded list. | 02-16-2012 |
| 20110066708 | Computer Program Product For Determining A Group Of Network Configuration Settings That Provide Optimal Network Performance - A computer program product is provided for optimizing network configuration settings for a user's client machine. A plurality of groups of network configuration settings are held in storage to be used by the user's client machine. A network connection is established between the user's client machine and a remote server. One of the groups of network configuration settings is selected to be used by the user's client machine from the provided groups of settings. One or more performance tests are conducted using the selected network configuration settings during the established network connection. The settings selection and the performance tests are repeated for one or more other groups of network configuration settings during the established network connection. The network configuration settings of the user's client machine provided in the groups are automatically adjusted based on the results of the performance tests. The adjusted network configuration settings are settings that optimize the performance of the user's client machine. | 03-17-2011 |

| 20090240769 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SCREENING REMOTE SITE CONNECTIONS AND FILTERING DATA BASED ON A COMMUNITY TRUST ASSESSMENT - Remote site connections are screened based on assessments performed by members of a trust community. Data based on a plurality of-end user assessments of particular remote websites are received at a server from a plurality of end-users. Each end-user is associated with a specific client machine which is in communication with the server. The server generates assessment scores based on the data. The server transmits the assessment scores to the client machines. The client machine selectively takes protective action against ones of the particular remote websites that have an undesirable assessment score generated by the server. | 09-24-2009 |
