A method, a system, and an article are provided for detecting and managing anomalies associated with content presentations. An example computer-implemented method includes: obtaining a stream of data including a record of software installations on a plurality of client devices; processing the stream of data using a real-time anomaly detector to detect a first anomaly indicating that a client device was previously associated with fraudulent software installation activity; aggregating the stream of data to generate a batch record of software installations for each publisher from a plurality of content publishers; processing each batch record of software installations using a batch anomaly detector to detect a second anomaly indicating that at least one of the publishers is associated with fraudulent software installation activity; and facilitating an adjustment of content presentations on the client devices, based on at least one of the detected first anomaly and the detected second anomaly.
