The malware protection system provides a virtual logon session which runs in the background invisible to the user. The virtual logon session is created on a computer system with the help of the operating system using a separate/partitioned kernel resources such as a desktop, that provides a limited access environment under the context of a logged-on user. The system is configured to run applications inside virtual logon sessions under the logged-on user's credentials with limited access. The system also includes an interceptor module that launches the web browser or web application inside the virtual logon session. The interceptor module intercepts every URL passing through the web browser or web application being run in the virtual logon session. The module checks if the primary web URL is infected by malware and adds the malicious URL to a malicious URL database and a non-malicious URL to a non-malicious URL database.

System and method for protecting computer systems from malware attacks

An innovative security solution which separates a client into a Protected Context, which is the real files and resources of the client, and an Isolated Context, which is a restricted execution environment which makes use of virtualized resources to execute applications and modify content in the Isolated Context, without allowing explicit access to the resources in the Protected Context. The solution further consolidates user interfaces to allow users to seamlessly work with content in both contexts, and provide a visual indication of which display windows are rendered from content executed in the Isolated Context.
