1. A computer program product comprising:
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media bearing;
(a) one or more instructions for determining a virus associated with communication data on a communications network;
(b) one or more instructions for associating an anti-viral agent with at least one identifier;
(c) one or more instructions for prioritizing transmission of the at least one identifier relative to the communication data based on a determination of a potential path of the communication data, the determination based on at least one of a topological or a statistical analysis of the communications network; and
(d) one or more instructions for providing the anti-viral agent on the communications network, in response to the prioritizing transmission of the at least one identifier.

Abstract
An apparatus, device, methods, computer program product, and system are described that determine a virus associated with communication data on a communications network, the communications network associated with at least one network policy device, associate an anti-viral agent with at least one identifier, prioritize transmission of the at least one identifier through the at least one network policy device, relative to the communication data, and provide the anti-viral agent on the communications network, in response to the prioritizing transmission of the at least one identifier through the at least one network policy device.

2. A system, comprising:
-
a computing device; and instructions that when executed on the computing device cause the computing device to; (a) determine a virus associated with communication data on a communications network; (b) associate an anti-viral agent with at least one identifier; (c) prioritize transmission of the at least one identifier relative to the communication data based on a determination of a potential path of the communication data, the determination based on at least one of a topological or a statistical analysis of the communications network; and (d) provide the anti-viral agent on the communications network, in response to the prioritizing transmission of the at least one identifier. - View Dependent Claims (3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 51, 52, 53, 54)

29. A method, comprising:
-
determining a virus associated with communication data on a communications network; associating an anti-viral agent with at least one identifier; prioritizing transmission of the at least one identifier relative to the communication data based on a determination of a potential path of the communication data, the determination based on at least one of a topological or a statistical analysis of the communications network; and providing the anti-viral agent on the communications network, in response to the prioritizing transmission of the at least one identifier, wherein at least one of the determining, associating, prioritizing or providing is at least partially implemented using hardware. - View Dependent Claims (30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 50)
