  • Publication number: 20240160735
    Abstract: A system and method for computer security of a protected device includes monitoring software running on a protected device that periodically scans the protected device looking for changes to startup items that are suspicious. Upon finding such items, the monitoring software removes the suspicious item and/or sends details of the item to a server. At the server, a researcher reviews the details to determine if the changes are malicious and what steps must be taken to back-out the malicious changes such as deleting malicious executables and scripts that were installed, restoring backup files, removing add-ons that were installed in browsers, etc. The researchers then create a script that will run on the affected device to implement the steps required to repair the infected device then the researcher remotely accesses the affected device, installs the script and runs the script on the protected device to remove the malicious software.

  • Publication number: 20180076691
    Abstract: An exemplary thermal management assembly includes a fluid jacket securable to an installed position adjacent a structural housing of a device, the fluid jacket providing at least a first side and a second side of a fluid passageway perimeter, the first side transverse to the second side. An exemplary method of managing thermal energy in a device includes positioning a fluid jacket in an installed position where the fluid jacket is adjacent a structural housing of an electric device. Without modifying the structural housing, the method includes repositioning the fluid jacket in an uninstalled position where the fluid jacket is spaced from the structural housing.
