METHOD OF SAFEGUARDING AGAINST MALICIOUS SOFTWARE (MALWARE)

摘要

Several methods for checking the virus spread in a computer are proposed, such as checking and verifying the integrity of Windows system files to prevent malicious program from infecting the files either by comparing byte for byte or by checksum such as MD5. A method to store the essential computer files, programs and registries into a secondary storage and allow for retrieval when required is also proposed.
