Abstract:
A method and system for modifying a computer's registry so that it is easily cleansed of spyware and other web-installed software. The registry is structured like an ACID type database, and is partitioned so that metadata associated with web-installed software are stored in a special partitioned. The registry also has revision control, so that prior versions can be retrieved and used if the current registry is corrupted.
