The process causes execution of the program in at least one known environment and automatically examines the at least one known environment to detect if a change has occurred in the environment as a result of the execution of the program. If a change is detected, the process automatically analyzes the detected change (i.e., the process performs a side effects analysis) to determine if the change resulted from execution of the program or from execution of the undesirable software entity. The process then uses the result of the analysis at least for undoing a detected change that results from execution of the undesirable software entity. The result of the analysis can also be used for informing a user of an anti-virus system of the non-replicative changes made to the environment. | InventorsApplicationNo. 10141896 filed on 05/08/2002US Classes:726/22, MONITORING OR SCANNING OF SOFTWARE OR DATA INCLUDING ATTACK PREVENTION726/23, Intrusion detection726/24, Virus detection726/25, Vulnerability assessment713/188, COMPUTER VIRUS DETECTION BY CRYPTOGRAPHY714/38, Of computer software714/3By masking or reconfigurationField of Search714/3, By masking or reconfiguration714/38, Of computer software726/24, Virus detection726/26, PREVENTION OF UNAUTHORIZED USE OF DATA INCLUDING PREVENTION OF PIRACY, PRIVACY VIOLATIONS, OR UNAUTHORIZED DATA MODIFICATION726/22, MONITORING OR SCANNING OF SOFTWARE OR DATA INCLUDING ATTACK PREVENTION726/23, Intrusion detection726/25, Vulnerability assessment713/188COMPUTER VIRUS DETECTION BY CRYPTOGRAPHYExaminersPrimary: Song, HosukAssistant: To, Baoquoc N.
