Behavior based processing of a new version or variant of a previously characterized program

摘要

Behavior based processing of a new version or variant of a previously characterized program is disclosed. An indication is received that a process with respect to which a trust decision was made previously has undergone a change. The process is allowed to continue to engage, after the change, in a network behavior associated with the process prior to the change, without first prompting a user, subsequent to the change, to provide an input indicating whether the changed process is to be allowed to engage in the network behavior subsequent to the change.
