[0020] Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure of a computing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to enable the scope of the present invention to be fully communicated to those skilled in the art.

[0022] Figure 1 FIG. 4 shows a schematic diagram of a structure of a software silent uninstallation device according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the device includes: a receiving process 110 and an uninstalling process 120.

[0023] Among them, the silent uninstallation task can be selected by the administrator on the server side for the terminal that needs to be silently uninstalled, and the silent uninstallation task is issued to the selected terminal. The silent uninstallation task is a silent uninstallation of software. In this embodiment, the software is security software, including various types of software such as anti-virus software, system tools and anti-rogue software. It is a software tool that can remove all known program codes that are harmful to the terminal, such as viruses and Trojans. The uninstallation of security software will affect the security protection of the terminal. Therefore, the silent uninstallation of security software is particularly important to avoid problems such as protection vulnerabilities in the terminal caused by unexpected uninstallation. In addition, the software can also be software installed by any other terminal to avoid unexpected software uninstallation.

[0024] The receiving process 110 is started after receiving the silent uninstallation task issued by the server, and generates a corresponding memory storage name for the silent uninstallation task according to the preset generation rules. The preset generation rules can be set according to the implementation situation, such as generating according to the silent uninstallation task name, time, terminal information, etc., which are not limited here. The keywords of the silent uninstallation task are encrypted, and then the encrypted keywords are stored in the memory storage name, thereby forming a double encryption of the memory storage name and keywords of the silent uninstallation task, ensuring that the information of the silent uninstallation task does not fall to the ground when it is stored in the memory, thereby ensuring that the silent uninstallation task occurs as expected. Here, the keywords of the silent uninstallation task can be information such as task id, task name, etc., which are set according to the implementation situation. Encryption can use any encryption algorithm, such as DES, RSA, SHA, AES, ECC and other encryption algorithms, which are not limited here.

[0025] After the receiving process 110 receives the silent uninstallation task and stores it, the uninstallation process 120 is started. The uninstallation process 120 generates a memory storage name according to the same preset generation rule as the receiving process 110, so as to obtain an encrypted keyword from the memory according to the memory storage name. The encrypted keyword is decrypted. If the decryption is successful, it means that the acquired silent uninstallation task is expected to occur and is not maliciously executed. The silent uninstallation task is executed to realize the silent uninstallation of the software. Further, when the uninstallation process 120 generates a memory storage name, it can be further determined whether the generated memory storage name exists in the memory. If not, there may be a risk. The software uninstallation interface pops up and uses a normal uninstallation method to remind the user whether to uninstall the software. If it is determined that the generated memory storage name exists in the memory, the encrypted keyword is obtained from it and decrypted. If the decryption of the uninstallation process 120 fails, it means that there may be a risk. The software uninstallation interface pops up to remind the user to confirm whether to uninstall. Through the above multiple judgments, the possible risk of the silent uninstallation task is further reduced, the silent uninstallation task is guaranteed to be executed as expected, and malicious illegal uninstallation is avoided. After the silent uninstallation task is completed, the uninstallation process 120 terminates and exits.

[0026] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the memory adopts shared memory, which is a large-capacity memory that can be accessed by different central processing units (CPUs) in a multi-processor terminal system. Shared memory allows multiple processes to access the same memory space, greatly reducing memory consumption during large-scale data processing, and also meeting the needs of the receiving process 110 and the unloading process 120 to access the shared memory according to the memory storage name.

[0027] According to the software silent uninstallation device provided in the embodiment of the present invention, multiple encryption protections are used to prevent the silent uninstallation task from being implemented in the memory, thereby preventing the key information of the silent uninstallation from being cracked due to being written into the command line or the local registry / file, etc., resulting in the software being maliciously and illegally uninstalled.

[0028] Figure 2 FIG. 4 shows a flowchart of a method for silently uninstalling software according to an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 As shown, the method comprises the following steps:

[0029] Step S201, receiving a sent silent uninstallation task, generating a corresponding memory storage name for the silent uninstallation task according to a preset generation rule, and encrypting a keyword of the silent uninstallation task and storing it in the memory storage name.

[0030] In this embodiment, the silent uninstallation task is assigned by the administrator on the server side to the terminal that needs to be silently uninstalled. The silent uninstallation task is a silent uninstallation of software. In this embodiment, the software is security software, including various types of software such as anti-virus software, system tools and anti-rogue software. It is a software tool that can remove all known program codes that are harmful to the terminal, such as viruses and Trojans. The uninstallation of security software will affect the security protection of the terminal. Therefore, the silent uninstallation of security software is particularly important to avoid problems such as protection vulnerabilities in the terminal caused by unexpected uninstallation. In addition, the software can also be software installed by any other terminal to avoid unexpected software uninstallation.

[0031] After receiving the silent uninstallation task sent by the server, the corresponding memory storage name can be generated for the silent uninstallation task according to the preset generation rules. The preset generation rules can be set according to the implementation situation, such as generating according to the silent uninstallation task name, time, terminal information, etc., which are not limited here. The keywords of the silent uninstallation task are encrypted, and then the encrypted keywords are stored in the memory storage name, thereby forming a double encryption of the memory storage name and keywords of the silent uninstallation task, ensuring that the information of the silent uninstallation task is not lost when stored in the memory, thereby ensuring that the silent uninstallation task occurs as expected. Here, the keywords of the silent uninstallation task can be information such as task id, task name, etc., which are set according to the implementation situation. Encryption can use any encryption algorithm, such as DES, RSA, SHA, AES, ECC and other encryption algorithms, which are not limited here.

[0032] Furthermore, the server sends a silent uninstallation task, triggering the start of a receiving process, which executes this step and stores and encrypts the silent uninstallation task.

[0033] Step S202, starting the uninstall process to generate a memory storage name according to a preset generation rule to obtain an encrypted keyword stored in the memory storage name.

[0034] After step S201 is executed, the receiving process triggers the start of the uninstall process. Here, the uninstall process generates a memory storage name using the same preset generation rule as step S201, so as to obtain the encrypted keyword from the memory according to the memory storage name.

[0035] Furthermore, when the uninstall process generates a memory storage name, it can be further determined whether the generated memory storage name exists in the memory. If not, there may be risks. The software uninstall interface pops up and a normal uninstall method is used to remind the user whether to uninstall the software.

[0036] Step S203, decrypting the encrypted keyword, if the decryption is successful, executing the silent uninstallation task.

[0037] The obtained encrypted keyword is decrypted. If the decryption is successful, it means that the obtained silent uninstallation task is expected and is not executed maliciously. The silent uninstallation task is executed to achieve silent uninstallation of the software.

[0038] Furthermore, if the encrypted keyword is obtained and decrypted but fails, indicating that there may be risks, a software uninstallation interface will pop up to remind the user to confirm whether to uninstall.

[0039] Furthermore, through multiple judgments, the possible risk of silent uninstallation tasks can be further reduced, ensuring that silent uninstallation tasks are executed as expected, and avoiding malicious illegal uninstallation. After the silent uninstallation task is completed, the uninstallation process terminates and exits.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the memory adopts shared memory, which is a large-capacity memory that can be accessed by different central processing units (CPUs) in a multi-processor terminal system. Shared memory allows multiple processes to access the same memory space, greatly reducing memory consumption during large-scale data processing, and also meeting the needs of receiving processes and unloading processes to access shared memory according to memory storage names.

[0041] According to the software silent uninstallation method provided by the embodiment of the present invention, multiple encryption protections are used to prevent the silent uninstallation task from being implemented in the memory, thereby preventing the key information of the silent uninstallation from being cracked due to being written into the command line or the local registry / file, etc., resulting in the software being maliciously and illegally uninstalled.

[0042] An embodiment of the present invention further provides a non-volatile computer storage medium, wherein the computer storage medium stores at least one executable instruction, and the executable instruction can execute the software silent uninstallation method in any of the above method embodiments.
