Abstract
Malware prevention and remediation is provided by monitoring actions performed by processes and maintaining indications of which processes are trusted; selectively presenting canary files to these processes, which includes presenting the canary files to processes not indicated as being trusted and hiding the canary files from processes indicated as being trusted, and where the monitoring includes monitoring for access of canary files with change privileges; scoring each of the processes based on the actions performed, including any access of canary files with change privileges, which scoring produces a malice score for each process; and automatically terminating any process for which its malice score indicates at least a threshold level of malice in the execution of the process.
