"Wolfgang Kandek, CTO of Qualys, explained how the service works. After signing up at www.qualys.com/forms/trials/stopmalware a user can protect up to ten web sites. Every day Qualys's scanners will check each web site, crawl all of its pages, and report on any malware problems. 'We scan in two ways,' said Kandek. 'First we look at the page to see if any malware is present; that's static analysis. Then for dynamic analysis we actually load the page in a virtual machine running Internet Explorer 6 and monitor it to see what happens... We know what is normal behavior and what is abnormal. When we detect abnormal behavior that clearly represents malware we alert the owner'.
At present alerts come via e-mail, but Kandek indicated that Qualys would consider text, IM, voice, or other alert modes if there seemed to be strong interest among users. He also pointed out that this is a research activity for Qualys. The more web sites they monitor the more malware they'll detect and the more information they can share with other companies.
Users who outgrow QualysGuard can move up to the full non-free Qualys Go SECURE service. This service checks for malware, of course, but also scans for network vulnerabilities, verifies all web applications, verifies site certificates and more. Qualys hopes, naturally, that widespread use of the free service will feed satisfied users into the paid service."
