Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product comprise presenting a plurality of search results within a graphical user interface. Further, an indicia of risk is presented that reflects an analysis in association with at least one of the plurality of search results within the graphical user interface.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

presenting a plurality of search results within a graphical user interface; and

presenting an indicia of risk that reflects an analysis in association with at least one of the plurality of search results within the graphical user interface.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis includes an analysis involving a heuristic.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis includes an automatic analysis.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis includes a dynamic analysis of an executable.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the presentation is associated with all of the plurality of search results

5. The method of claim L wherein the presentation is associated with two or more of the plurality of search results.

7. A computer program product embodied on a computer readable medium, comprising:

computer code for presenting a plurality of search results within a graphical user interface; and

computer code for presenting an indicia of risk that reflects an analysis in association with at least one of the plurality of search results within the graphical user interface.

8. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the analysis includes an analysts involving a heuristic.

9. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the analysis includes an automatic analysis.

10. The computer program, product of claim 7, wherein the analysis includes a dynamic analysis of an executable.

11. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the presentation is associated with two or more of the plurality of search results.

12. The computer program product of claim 7, wherein the presentation is associated with all of the plurality of search results.

13. A system, comprising:

a graphical user interface for displaying a plurality of search results and an indicia of risk that reflects an analysis in association with at least one of the plurality of search results.

14. The system of claim 13, wherein the analysis includes an analysis involving a heuristic.

15. The system of claim 13, wherein the analysis includes an automatic analysis.

16. The system of claim 13, wherein the analysis includes a dynamic analysis of an executable.

17. A system, comprising:

means for presenting a plurality of search results within a graphical user interface; and

means for presenting an indicia of risk that reflects an analysis in association with at least one of the plurality of search results within the graphical user interface.

18. The system of claim 17, wherein the analysis includes an analysis involving a heuristic.

19. The system of claim 17, wherein the analysis includes an automatic analysis.

20. The system of claim 17, wherein the analysis includes a dynamic analysis of an executable.
