Abstract: A computer system includes memory configured to store software application files, and a processor configured to execute computer executable instructions. The instructions include identifying a target software application, archiving files of the target software application, and creating, in the directory, one or more replacement executable files that correspond to one or more executable files of the target software application. The instructions include detecting, by a first replacement executable file of the one or more replacement executable files, an execution call to the first replacement executable file corresponding to a first executable file of the target software application. The instructions include, in response to detection of the detected execution call, restoring files of the target software application and forwarding the detected execution call to the first executable file of the target software application in the directory to allow the first executable file to process the detected execution call.
