  • Patent number: 7673175
    Abstract: A system and method for tracking and restoring computer configuration are disclosed. In one aspect, the system and method monitors for a series of changes in watched one or more computer configuration variables. The changes are registered into a series of saved states. The one or more computer configuration variables may be restored to a desired saved state using the registry of saved states. In one aspect, the system and method monitors the changes by intercepting system calls, determining which system calls affect the one or more computer configuration variables, and logging the system calls and the results of the system calls that affect the one or more computer configuration variables. A recovery script may be dynamically generated to restore to a saved state.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7237010
    Abstract: Disposable email address generation, and processing thereof at a disposable address system are provided. The generated disposable email address includes a hostname domain, a username, a domain tag, and a passcode, wherein the passcode is selected by a user employing a user chosen algorithm of a plurality of passcode validation algorithms provided to the user by the disposable address system. The user chosen algorithm for generating the passcode can be periodically changed for different disposable email addresses owned by the user. The disposable address system includes storage for holding an indication of revocation of a compromised disposable email address to prevent future emails with that destination email address from being forwarded to the user owning the email address.
