ABSTRACT:
A method for reducing vulnerability of a computer network to a detected virus threat includes receiving an identifier of a network device detected as a source of virus activity. The method also includes relating the identifier to a predetermined account of the detected device and then automatically disabling the device account. Accordingly, the detected device is isolated from the network to prevent infection of the network by the detected device.
