Abstract
This computer data protection method of the present invention requires a user to enter a correct password for modifying any data. If wrong passwords are typed, this method forbids modification of any program modules. Further, if any program module is detected having unauthenticated modification, that program module is deleted and an original image of that program module is loaded to recover normal operation of the operation system. Additionally, a common password is also provided in the protection method. Some special function can use this common password to pass the detection of this method to perform any modification.
Claims39
A computer data protecting method for protecting a computer system, said method comprising:
- designing a monitor program with a common password for an operation system, wherein said monitor program monitors a plurality of program modules of said operating system;
- after said operating system is installed, said monitor program allows a user to assign a user password;
- asking said user to enter said user passwords when any modification/addition/deletion action is performed onto said program modules of said operating system;
- and
- if said user passwords is missing, said monitor program forbids any modification/addition/deletion action to be performed onto said program modules.
An computer data protection method, comprising:
- recording image files of a plurality of program modules in an operating system, wherein said operating system has a common password;
- allowing a user to assign a user password;
- monitoring if said program modules are modified and said modified action does not have said common password;
- asking said user to enter said user password;
- if said user passwords is missing, then the modification of said program modules is forbidden;
- and
- when it is detected that said program modules have unauthenticated modification, said program modules that are not authentically modified are deleted, and replaced with said legal image files of said program modules, so as to revoke said operating system back to normal operation.
A computer data protecting method, said method comprising:
- designing a monitor program for an operation system, wherein said monitor program monitors a plurality of program modules of said operating system;
- after said operating system is installed, said monitor program allows a user to assign a user password;
- asking said user to enter said user passwords when any modification/addition/deletion action is performed onto said program modules of said operating system;
- and
- if said user passwords is missing, said monitor program forbids any modification/addition/deletion action to be performed onto said program modules.
