The goal for the Webroot 2015-16 Clinic project is to increase the awareness of the risks users face when choosing to participate in various social media networks. The team has developed a social network reputation model, which will be available in the form of an Android application, to inform users of these risks. For this project, Twitter is the primary social network platform used for an analysis of the wide range of possible malicious content such as viruses and spam.
