Abstract:
A method and apparatus for controlling a download source for an electronic file. The method includes at a server, receiving from a user device an identity of a first source from which the user device wishes to obtain the electronic file. The received identity of the first source is compared with an identity of a known reputable source associated with the electronic file. If the first source and the known reputable source do not match, a message is sent to the user device that includes the identity of the reputable source.
