ABSTRACT:
A method for detecting malware in a computer that employs a production operating system during normal use is provided. The method includes activating on the computer a first operating system while the production operating system is dormant and ascertaining at least a portion of the production operating system that would be involved in booting up the computer if the production operating system had been activated instead. The method further includes scanning, while the first operating system is activated and while the production operating system is dormant, the portion of the production operating system. The method further includes neutralizing, while the first operating system is activated and while the production operating system is dormant, the malware responsive to the scanning.
