Abstract

See full text

A method and system for removing pestware from a computer is described. One illustrative embodiment detects that pestware is present on a computer, automatically suspends connectivity of the computer with a network, and removes the pestware from the computer while the connectivity of the computer with the network is suspended. This prevents the pestware from downloading additional pestware from the network in response to a removal attempt.
