Abstract

Mechanisms are provided for delivering instant messages to recipient computing systems. An instant message is received for delivery to a recipient computing system (recipient) and is sent to the recipient which displays the instant message in a dialog interface. At substantially a same time, a lightweight initial scan/filter operation is executed on the message to determine a preliminary classification of the message as being benign or unwanted/malicious. If unwanted/malicious, a warning notification is sent to the recipient for display in the dialog interface, the message is processed via an analytics pipeline to determine a final classification, and a command message is sent based on the final classification to the recipient to update the dialog interface.
