SERVER-COUPLED MALWARE PROTECTION METHOD AND SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2015 - IPC G06F21/00 H04L29/06 

FIELD: physics, computer engineering.

SUBSTANCE: present description relates to a system and method for preventing malware, spyware and other undesirable applications from affecting mobile communication devices. When scanning applications, a device transmits information about the application to a server for analysis. The server receives the information, produces an assessment for the application and transmits the assessment to the device. By performing analysis on a server, the invention allows a mobile communication device to reduce the battery and performance cost of protecting against undesirable applications. The servers transmit notifications to devices that have installed applications that are undesirable. The server receives data about applications from multiple devices, using the combined data to minimise false triggering and provide comprehensive protection against known and unknown threats.

EFFECT: enabling remote analysis of a data object located on a mobile communication device to provide protection of the mobile device, which is achieved by using communication with a server to obtain assistance in detecting and removing undesirable applications.
