Abstract
An IP usage pattern of a first computer system is monitored by a second computer system that is remotely located from the first computer system. The second computer system is associated with an ISP. First parasite software may be identified based on an abnormal change in the IP usage pattern. The abnormal change in the IP usage pattern may be detected by comparing the IP usage pattern to a baseline model of IP usage for the first computer system. Anti-parasite software associated with the first parasite software may be forwarded from the ISP to the first computer system.
