A Hybrid Technique for Complete Viral Infected Recovery

This research proposes a hybrid technique for computer virus detection and recovery. We made use of the well-established BWT to pinpoint where the infection was located. To insure perfect detection, the CRC technique was supplemented. In the mean time, the original uninfected code was analyzed to obtain necessary unique identifications, whereby recovery process can be carried out directly with reference to these unique identifications. The proposed technique was gauged against a couple of commercial virus software and found to perform its task to perfection.
