Abstract
A method and system for researching pestware spread through electronic messages is described. One embodiment detects automatically the presence of an electronic messaging client on a computer, the electronic messaging client having an associated contact list, each contact in the contact list having an associated address on a network; adds automatically a pestware research contact to the contact list, the address associated with the pestware research contact pointing to a data collection system on the network; and traces to its source on the network a pestware threat received at the data collection system via the pestware research contact. The principles of the invention can be applied to any electronic messaging system, including electronic mail and instant messaging.
