Claim Text:
1. A method for providing an optimal configuration to secure a computer based on user behavior, comprising: examining, using at least one hardware processor disposed on the computer, user activity associated with the computer and stored reputation information associated with a plurality of web sites to produce behavior indicia representing vulnerability of the computer to malicious threats, wherein the examining comprises analyzing web activity and a security patch level to produce the behavior indicia; determining an optimal configuration for security software by analyzing the behavior indicia, wherein the optimal configuration defines a value for a variable heuristic-based detection, wherein the variable heuristic-based detection is configured to provide dynamic non-static heuristic scanning for detecting malicious threats, and wherein the scanning is not predefined; automatically configuring at least one security setting in accordance with the value defined by the optimal configuration; installing at least one security patch on the computer in accordance with the optimal configuration; and executing a real-time security scan of the computer for malicious threats in accordance with the optimal configuration.
