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 associated with the search results is presented, in real-time, within the graphical user interface.

Claims

1. A method, comprising:

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

in real-time, presenting an indicia of risk associated with the search results within the graphical user interface.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the indicia of risk reflects an analysis in association with at least one of the plurality of search results.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein a warning window is displayed based on the analysis.

4. The method of claim 3, wherein the warning window includes one or more links.

5. The method of claim 4, wherein the one or more links link to additional information.

6. The method of claim 5, wherein the additional information includes alternatives.

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

8. The method of claim 2, wherein the analysis includes an automatic analysis.

9. The method of claim 2, wherein the analysis includes a dynamic analysis of an executable.

10. 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, in real-time, an indicia of risk associated with the search results within the graphical user interface.

11. The computer program product of claim 10, wherein the indicia of risk reflects an analysis in association with at least one of the plurality of search results.

12. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein a warning window is displayed based on the analysis.

13. The computer program product of claim 12, wherein the warning window includes one or more links.

14. The computer program product of claim 13, wherein the one or more links link to additional information.

15. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein the analysis includes an analysis involving a heuristic.

16. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein the analysis includes an automatic analysis.

17. The computer program product of claim 11, wherein the analysis includes a dynamic analysis of an executable.

18. A system, comprising:

a graphical user interface for displaying a plurality of search results, and, in real time, presenting an indicia of risk associated with the search results.
