Techniques for categorizing programs running on an information handling system. One method includes, while a program is running on an information handling system in a manner that permits the program to infect the information handling system, calculating a first score and a second score. The first score is indicative of the likelihood that the program is malicious; the second score is indicative of the likelihood that the program is valid. This method further includes categorizing the program with respect to the likelihood of the program infecting the information handling system, including by categorizing the program as valid code based on the second score being above a threshold value, regardless of the first score.

Method, computer software, and system for providing end to end security protection of an online transaction

A method for implementing an online transaction security product includes downloading an online transaction security product program from a web site to an information handling system. The security product program includes an anti-malicious code program configured to detect malicious code on the information handling system. Lastly, the security product program is executed, wherein the anti-malicious code program of the security product program operates to detect malicious code on the information handling system.

From a first information handling system ('IHS') to a second IHS, in response to a request for initiating an online transaction, a program is downloaded for detecting malicious code on the second IHS.
