  • Intelligent event collection for rolling back an endpoint state in response to malware
    Patent number: 10970396
    Abstract: An anti-malware application detects and remediates malware. The anti-malware application detects an event associated with a process and determines if the event matches an entry in an exclusions list. If the event is absent from the exclusions list, the anti-malware application monitors the operation of the process, logs the event data in an event log, and sends the event to a server to determine whether the process corresponds to malware. The anti-malware application updates the exclusions list based on the logged event if the process does not correspond to malware. The anti-malware application restores a file edited by the process to the saved copy of the original file prior to the file being edited by the process if the process corresponds to malware.
