IMPROPER COMMUNICATION PROGRAM RESTRICTION SYSTEM AND PROGRAM

摘要

A system that can observe and restrict an improper communication program regardless of network environments of a computer under control is provided. A server to control each computer includes means for distributing a file pattern to specify an improper program. The computer has a filtering module to carry out observation/restriction processing of communication arising from the computer. The filtering module comprises a data base in which the file pattern acquired from the server is stored, means for observing communication of a communication module started by the computer and detecting the occurrence of a communication initiating request to other computers, means for comparing a file pattern of the communication module with that of the data base and inspecting whether the communication module is in an improper communication program, and means for restricting communication of the communication module when the inspecting means judges that it is in the improper communication program.
