First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for scanning a computer system connected to a network, the method comprising:
- performing a scanning process from a first network location and from a second network location, wherein a first set of scan results and a second set of scan results are generated;
comparing the first set of scan results with the second set of scan results for differences to detect network related problems; and
performing a given action based on differences detected from comparing the first set of scan results with the second set of scan results, wherein differences detected from comparing the first set of scan results with the second set of scan results are compared to a set of heuristics linked to respective actions and a given heuristic is detected.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for identifying problems associated with a web site. A scan of a web site is initiated by a plurality of agents, wherein each of the plurality of agents are at a different location in the distributed data processing system. Results of the scan are obtained from the plurality of agents. The results of the scan are analyzed to determine if a problem is associated with the web site.
