US Classification:

Abstract:

An anti-malware program monitors the behavior of a system after a system restore to determine the likelihood of a hidden infection of malicious code still existing after the system restore. The anti-malware program observes the dynamic behavior of the system by monitoring conditions that are likely to signify the possibility of an infection thereby necessitating the need to initiate anti-malware detection. The anti-malware program may observe the restoration history, system settings, malware infection history, to determine the likelihood of an existing hidden infection after a system restore.
