11. A computer-implemented method for maintaining a database containing information about known non-malicious processes, the method comprising; receiving a process-information request from a client-side computing system, wherein the process-information request identifies at least one process; identifying a database that contains information about known non-malicious processes, wherein the database identifies, for each non-malicious process within the database, at least one of: at least one process name associated with the non-malicious process; at least one acceptable file location from which the non-malicious process may execute; determining, by comparing information contained within the process-information request received from the client-side computing system with the information about known non-malicious processes contained within the database, that the process identified in the process-information request represents an attempt to mimic a process name of at least one known non-malicious process; providing an indication to the client-side computing system that the process represents an attempt to mimic the process name of at least one known non-malicious process in order to enable the client-side computing system to determine whether the process represents a security risk.
11. A computer-implemented method for maintaining a database containing information about known non-malicious processes, the method comprising; receiving a process-information request from a client-side computing system, wherein the process-information request identifies at least one process; identifying a database that contains information about known non-malicious processes, wherein the database identifies, for each non-malicious process within the database, at least one of: at least one process name associated with the non-malicious process; at least one acceptable file location from which the non-malicious process may execute; determining, by comparing information contained within the process-information request received from the client-side computing system with the information about known non-malicious processes contained within the database, that the process identified in the process-information request represents an attempt to mimic a process name of at least one known non-malicious process; providing an indication to the client-side computing system that the process represents an attempt to mimic the process name of at least one known non-malicious process in order to enable the client-side computing system to determine whether the process represents a security risk. 13. The method of claim 11 , wherein determining that the process represents an attempt to mimic the process name of at least one known non-malicious process comprises at least one of: determining that a process name of the process is similar to the process name of at least one known non-malicious process identified within the database; determining that the process name of the process exactly matches the process name of at least one known non-malicious process identified within the database, but that a file location associated with the process represents an unacceptable file location.
