A method and computer executable program code are disclosed for performing one or more maintenance tasks on a remotely located computer connected to a server computer via a data network.

System, method, and computer program product for performing one or more maintenance tasks on a remotely located computer connected to a server computer via a data network

System, method and computer program product for performing one or more maintenance tasks on a remotely located computer connected to a server computer via a data network

A computer program product is embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium. The computer program product comprises computer code to display a plurality of first indicia presented in a list, where each first indicia indicates a software product, and computer code to display a second indicia associated with a highlighted one of the first indicia. The second indicia comprises information about the software product indicated by the highlighted first indicia. The computer program product additionally comprises computer code to display a third indicia associated with the highlighted first indicia and indicate the availability of a software update for the software product indicated by the highlighted first indicia, and computer code to display a fourth indicia associated with the highlighted first indicia. The fourth indicia facilitates the retrieval of the software update.

Software uninstallation system, method and computer program product

A system and method update client computers of various end users with software updates for software products installed on the client computers. The system includes a service provider computer system, a number of client computers and software vendor computer systems communicating on a common network. The service provider computer system stores in an update database information about the software updates of diverse software vendors, identifying the software products for which software updates are available, information for identifying in the client computers the software products stored thereon, and information for determining for such products, which have software updates available. Users of the client computers connect to the service provider computer and obtain a current version of portions of the database. The client computer determines that software products stored thereon, and using this information, determines from the database, which products have updates available, based on product name and release information for the installed products. The user selects updates for installation. The selected updates are downloaded from the software vendor computer systems and installed on the client computer.

Information processing apparatus, and system having preview control, and method thereof, and storage medium storing program for implementing the method

A system, method and computer program product are provided for uninstalling software on a computer. In use, a plurality of software products identified on a computer is displayed. Further, a first user instruction to uninstall at least a portion of at least one of the software products from the computer is received. Such first user instruction is received via an interface. Still yet, the at least a portion of the at least one software product is uninstalled from the computer, in response to the receipt of the first user instruction. Also, a second user instruction may be received to cancel the uninstallation. Thus, the uninstallation may be cancelled, in response to the receipt of the second user instruction.

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for certifying that content available on a host site is free from viruses identified by an anti-virus database. Content configured for publication on a host site is scanned for viruses. The scanned content is loaded onto the host site if no viruses are identified. Further, a certificate is displayed identifying the content on the host site as being scanned for viruses.

System and method for certifying that data received over a computer network has been checked for viruses

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for certifying that data transferred from a first computer to a recipient computer is free from viruses identified by an anti-virus database. Data is scanned for viruses before it is sent from the first computer. A certificate identifying said data as being scanned for viruses is attached if no viruses are found during scanning. The data is sent with the certificate from the first computer to a recipient computer.

A method for certifying that data sent from a computer is free from viruses identified by an anti-virus database. The method includes scanning data for viruses before it is sent from the computer and attaching a certificate identifying the data as being scanned for viruses if no viruses are found during scanning. The data is sent with the certificate from the computer to a recipient computer. A method for certifying that content available on a host site is free from viruses is also disclosed.

A system and method update client computers of various end users with software updates for software products installed on the client computers, the software products manufactured by diverse, unrelated software vendors. The system includes a service provider computer system, a number of client computers and software vendor computer systems communicating on a common network. The service provider computer system stores in an update database information about the software updates of the diverse software vendors, identifying the software products for which software updates are available, their location on the network at the various software vendor computer systems, information for identifying in the client computers the software products stored thereon, and information for determining for such products, which have software updates available. Users of the client computers connect to the service provider computer and obtain a current version of portions of the database. The client computer determines that software products stored thereon, and using this information, determines from the database, which products have updates available, based on product name and release information for the installed products. The user selects updates for installation. The selected updates are downloaded from the software vendor computer systems and installed on the client computer. Payment for the software update and the service is mediated by the service provider computer. Authentication of the user ensures only registered users obtain software updates. Authentication of the software updates ensures that the software updates are virus free and uncorrupted. Changes to the client computer during installation are monitored and archived, allowing the updates to be subsequently removed by the user.

System, method, and computer program product for uninstalling computer software

A method and computer executable program code are disclosed to verify the source of software downloaded from a remote site to a client computer over a computer network before the software can be executed on the client computer.

Uniform resource locator (URL)-based secure download system and method

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for performing one or more tasks on a remotely located computer connected to a server computer via a data network. Communication is established with the remotely located computer to form a connection with the server computer. Software is then delivered to the remotely located computer across the connection. Such software is encapsulated within a markup language communication unit deliverable across the connection. Moreover, the software is adapted for performing the one or more tasks on the remotely located computer. Still yet, the software is executed via a network browser for performing the one or more tasks on the remotely located computer via the network browser.
