Abstract
A system and method for providing automated service-based malware remediation. When a computing device is attacked by malware such as ransomware, multiple manual steps are usually needed to fully remediate the device. Users are typically required to follow several steps to remove the ransomware, and potentially must engage in the challenging task of reimaging the impacted device as well as choosing a restore point for point-in-time recovery. The disclosed systems provide a mechanism by which a cloud-based service manages a fully automated remediation and file recovery process for the user.
