ABSTRACT:
A Computer System that protects itself from Malware by assuring the security of critical software elements including but not limited to Operating Systems, Applications and I/O Drivers. These critical software elements cannot be altered by Malware during normal operation of the Computer especially when connected to the Internet, the primary vehicle for malware. When deviating from normal computer operation such as downloading updated Operating Systems or secured Applications, this invention erases or blocks all memory that could possibly be contaminated with Malware from affecting the critical software elements. This invention is unique because the Malware protection is invoked and implemented by hardware not alterable by any software, or dependent on understanding existing or new Malware.
