First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- receiving information associated with a virus via at least one network policy device, the virus associated with communication data on a communications network;
prioritizing transmission of at least one identifier, the at least one identifier being associated with an anti-viral agent, via the at least one network policy device, the prioritizing transmission including at least routing the at least one identifier via at least one lower protocol stack layer relative to the communication data;
outputting the at least one identifier from the at least one network policy device; and
providing access to the anti-viral agent via the communications network based at least partially on 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.
