20120084369 | Unified Reconnection To Multiple Remote Servers - Techniques are disclosed for connecting a user to all of his resources (e.g. remote desktop or remote application) in a deployment of server farm(s). The user's client sends a message to the deployment requesting any disconnected resources for the user and/or any active resources communicating with a different client. The deployment determines what those resources are, then strips out redundant information (e.g. two resources are remote applications executing within the same session) and sends a stripped list to the client, which reconnects. The client first reconnects to a resource that is not a VM and stores any user input (e.g. credentials) prompted for during that log in. Then, it reconnects to the other resources in parallel, using in these later reconnections any input received from the client during the first reconnection. | 04-05-2012 |
20130151706 | RESOURCE LAUNCH FROM APPLICATION WITHIN APPLICATION CONTAINER - A remote resource application that is associated with an application container in a manner that the application container restricts the remote resource application from directly accessing at least a file system of the computing system. The remote resource application provides a visualization for each of multiple remote resources. The user may launch the remote resource by selecting the corresponding visualization. Some of the remote resources are accessed by launching from the remote resource application itself in the context of the application container. Others of the remote resources are launched outside of the application container. The remote desktop application may operate securely within the application container, and still serve as an integrated location from which a user can access remote resources, regardless of whether the remote resource is launched from internal or external to the application container. | 06-13-2013 |
20140372506 | MANAGING AND USING REMOTE APPLICATIONS ON A MOBILE DEVICE - Embodiments are directed to implementing remote applications, switching between remote applications provided by different remote application servers and to presenting application notifications across remote application servers. In one scenario, a client computer system sends, to a remote application server, an indication that a remote desktop application is to be launched. It then receives, from the remote application server, window state information for various remote applications provided by the remote desktop application. The client computer system filters the received window state information to determine which remote application windows are to be displayed on the client computer system, and aggregates window state information from the filtered remote application windows that are to be displayed on the client computer system to determine which category each remote application window is to be placed in. The client computer system then displays the determined remote application windows. | 12-18-2014 |

20090254992 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION OF NEW MALICIOUS EXECUTABLES - A system and methods for detecting malicious executable attachments at an email processing application of a computer system using data mining techniques. The email processing application may be located at the server or at the client or host. The executable attachments are filtered from said email, and byte sequence features are extracted from the executable attachment. The executable attachments are classified by comparing the byte sequence feature of the executable attachment to a classification rule set derived from byte sequence features of a data set of known executables having a predetermined class in a set of classes, e.g., malicious or benign. The system is also able to classify executable attachments as borderline when the difference between the probability that the executable is malicious and the probability that the executable is benign are within a predetermined threshold. The system can notify the user when the number of borderline attachments exceeds the threshold in order to refine the classification rule set. | 10-08-2009 |
