Abstract
According to one example, a system and method are disclosed for malware and grayware remediation. For example, the system is operable to identify applications that have some legitimate behavior but that also exhibit some undesirable behavior. A remediation engine is provided to detect malware behavior in otherwise useful applications, and allow the useful parts of the application to run while blocking the malware behavior. In an example method of 'healing,' this may involve modifying the application binary to remove undesirable behavior. In an example method of 'personalization,' this may involve inserting control hooks through the operating system to prevent certain subroutines from taking effect.
