    摘要: A security scheme provides security to one or more self-contained operating environment instances executing on a computer. The security scheme may include implementing a set of security applications that may be controlled by a supervisory process, or the like. Both the set of security applications and the supervisory process may operate on a host system of the computer, which may also provide a platform for execution of the one or more self-contained operating environments. The security scheme protects processes running in the one or more self-contained operating environment and processes running on the computer outside of the self-contained operating environments.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system, method, and computer-readable medium for identifying malware that is loaded in the memory of a computing device. Software routines implemented by the present invention track the state of pages loaded in memory using page table access bits available from a central processing unit. A page in memory may be in a state that is “unsafe” or potentially infected with malware. In this instance, the present invention calls a scan engine to search a page for malware before information on the page is executed.

    摘要: Systems and methods for validating integrity of an executable file are described. In one aspect, the systems and methods determine that an executable file is being introduced into a path of execution. The executable file is then automatically evaluated in view of multiple malware checks to detect if the executable file represents a type of malware. The multiple malware checks are integrated into an operating system trust verification process along the path of execution.

    摘要: The present invention provides a system, method, and computer-readable medium for identifying and removing active malware from a computer. Aspects of the present invention are included in a cleaner tool that may be obtained automatically with an update service or may be downloaded manually from a Web site or similar distribution system. The cleaner tool includes a specialized scanning engine that searches a computer for active malware. Since the scanning engine only searches for active malware, the amount of data downloaded and resource requirements of the cleaner tool are less than traditional antivirus software. The scanning engine searches specific locations on a computer, such as data mapped in memory, configuration files, and file metadata for data characteristic of malware. If malware is detected, the cleaner tool removes the malware from the computer.

    摘要: In accordance with this invention, a system, method, and computer-readable medium that selectively scans files stored on a computing device for malware is provided. One or more files may be sent from a trusted source to a computing device that implements the present invention. The integrity of the files that originate from a trusted source is validated using a signature-based hashing function. Any modifications made to files stored on the computing device are tracked by a component of the operating system. In instances when the file is not modified after being validated, an aspect of the present invention prevents the file from being scanned for malware when a scanning event is directed to the file. As a result, the performance of the computing device is improved as static files from trusted sources are not repeatedly scanned for malware.

    摘要: A system and method for protecting a computer system connected to a communication network from a potential vulnerability. The system and method protects a computer system that is about to undergo or has just undergone a change in state that may result in placing the computer system at risk to viruses, and the like, over a communication network. The system and method first detect an imminent or recent change in state. A security component and a fixing component react to the detection of the change in state. The security component may raise the security level to block incoming network information, other than information from a secure or known location, or information requested by the computer system. The fixing component implements a fixing routine, such as installing missing updates or patches, and on successfully completing the fixing routine, the security level is relaxed or lowered.
