Abstract

The innovation disclosed and claimed herein, in one aspect thereof, comprises a management system and method of handling unpatched users. When a user requests to access their user account or a network, the user is checked for type of browser the user is being used and which version of the browser is being used. If the user is using an unsecured or unpatched browser, the system offers to update the browser software or provide a virtual machine through the browser so that malware cannot transfer from the user computer to the network. The virtual machine can provide a virtual keyboard to protect the user's login credentials from a key logger. The user logs into the user account within the virtual machine.
