Abstract
Sequences of instructions may be stored on machine-readable media such that, when they are executed by a machine, the instructions cause the machine to 1) identify a number of applications installed on the machine, 2) identify a number of software-controlled services required by the installed applications, and 3) enable the software-controlled services required by the applications and ensure that non-required services are disabled. Related methods and apparatus are also disclosed.
Claims30
Machine-readable media having stored thereon sequences of instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform the actions of:
- detecting a number of applications installed on said machine;
- identifying a number of software-controlled services required by said installed applications;
- and
- enabling said software-controlled services required by said applications, and ensuring that non-required services are disabled.
A method, comprising:
- detecting a number of applications installed on a machine;
- automatically identifying a number of software-controlled services required by said installed applications;
- and
- automatically enabling said software-controlled services required by said applications and ensuring that non-required services are disabled.
A computer system, comprising:
- a processor;
- storage;
- and
- a utility, residing in said storage and executed by said processor, to i) detect a number of applications residing on said storage, ii) identify a number of software-controlled services required by said applications, and iii) enable the software-controlled services required by said applications and ensure that non-required services are disabled.
