Search Engines and Internet Service Providers

Search Engines and ISPs must maintain credibility with users to keep their competitive advantage. Delivering search results that send users to links that contain malware can eventually have a negative effect on brand and reputation, prompting users to switch to another service.

Search Engines and ISPs can use RGcrawler data to mark up browser search results by adding malware safety ratings, creating a safer browsing environment for users. Robot Genius’ web crawler test bed machines run patent-pending software to install and test all Windows executable programs on the Internet for the existence of malware. This process creates the most comprehensive ‘blacklist’ of all exact URLs containing malware on the Internet, with a near-zero false positive detection rate. Robot Genius’ patent-pending automated processes for discovering, downloading and testing every executable on the Internet requires no human intervention.

Using RGguard, Search Engines and ISPs can enhance customers’ browsing and search experience by adding malware safety warnings to browsers’ search results, providing better protection from online malware. A lightweight browser plug-in enhancement, RGguard works in tandem with RGcrawler data to prevent malware infections by proactively warning users of danger while they are browsing the web. RGguard marks up search results links with color-coded safety and alerts users by recognizing not just the domain but also the full path URL that points to each instance of malware. The exactness of alerts reduces false positives and keeps restricted sites to a minimum.
