摘要

Malicious software (malware) is one significant threat to Internet security. Malware are designed to harm a computer or network, and can be installed on one's machine without their consent. Attacks are often done by deceiving people into downloading malicious software that is posing as useful software. We believe that if people had understandable advice easily available to them when they are about to make a decision on whether to download software or not, they would be inclined to use the advice, reducing their chances of putting their computers at security risk. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to understand if social networks can improve computer security by facilitating security advice. We designed and developed a system and web browser extension to provide social network advice to users considering downloading software. We then ran an empirical study to compare the advice coming from a trusted person to the advice coming from other more general social networks. We compared five different sources of advice in total. The provided advice could also present to the participant an alternate program, that had better security. We didn't find much evidence that the advice had a different effect based on the advisor, but the study confirmed our hypothesis that presenting alternative software will improve security.
