As computer programs grow more complex, extensible, and connected, it becomes increasingly difficult for users to understand what has changed on their machines and what impact those changes have. An embodiment of the invention is described via a software tool, called AskStrider, that answers those questions by correlating volatile process information with persistent-state context information and change history. AskStrider scans a system for active components, matches them against a change log to identify recently updated and hence more interesting state, and searches for context information to help users understand the changes. Several real-world cases are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of using AskStrider to quickly identify the presence of unwanted software, to determine if a software patch is potentially breaking an application, and to detect lingering components left over from an unclean uninstallation.

A flash memory management method for effectively deleting a file and a flash memory system, the flash memory system including: a flash memory; and an interface determining whether a sensed sector write operation instructs a file system to delete a file by examining metadata of the file system and deleting data in the flash memory corresponding to the file if the sensed sector write operation instructs deletion of the file. Accordingly, an interface layer between the flash memory and the file system can prevent unnecessary data from being copied in a future garbage collection process by recognizing a delete operation of the file system and quickly performing a future rewrite operation since actual data blocks are erased in file deletion.

A digital storage system is coupled to a write-once memory array. File delete commands are implemented by over-writing a destructive digital pattern to at least a portion of the memory cells associated with the file to be deleted. One disclosed system alters the manner in which a file delete command is implemented, depending upon whether the file is stored in a write-once memory or in a re-writable memory.

A UI device of a digital camera has a display screen, a left-side touch strip provided outside of and on a left side of the display screen and a right-side touch strip provided outside of and on a right side of the display screen. The touch strips 22 and 24 can distinguishably detect a slide operation in a vertical direction by the user and a slide operation in a horizontal direction by the user. When a slide operation in the vertical direction is detected, a controller of the UI device recognizes the operation as a manipulative instruction in which the amount of movement is considered important, such as an operation for selection of items or scrolling of a screen. When a slide operation in the horizontal direction is detected, the controller recognizes the slide operation as a triggering manipulative instruction in which the amount of movement is not as important, such as a file deletion instruction or display or non-display of a new hierarchical item.

A method of restricting file access is disclosed wherein a set of file write access commands are determined from data stored within a storage medium. The set of file write access commands are for the entire storage medium. Any matching file write access command provided to the file system for that storage medium results in an error message. Other file write access commands are, however, passed onto a device driver for the storage medium and are implemented. In this way commands such as file delete and file overwrite can be disabled for an entire storage medium.

A distributed file system makes use of peer resources to store file segments that can be later re-assembled to reconstitute the original file. Encryption using public keys can be employed to provide access control to a select set of users, and file deletion can be accomplished by removing the file listing, including the location of the various segments, from a table of contents. Storing each file segment on a plurality of nodes allows for redundant file storage in the event of a node being unavailable when a file is retrieved.

Secure erase of files and unallocated sectors on storage media such that any previous data is non-recoverable. The database contains sets of data patterns used to overwrite the data on different physical media. The software programs manage the overwriting process automatically when a file has been deleted. When de-allocated sectors in the file system are pruned from a file or escaped the file deletion process also finds them. Data will never be found on deleted sectors or on pruned sectors is overwritten.

A system and method for accelerating file deletion by preloading indirect blocks. When processing level 1 (L1) indirect blocks, the file server issues a read request for the next N indirect blocks to be loaded into a buffer cache. The file server processes the indirect blocks from the buffer cache without requiring multiple single block disk accesses. Once the N indirect blocks have been processed, a read request for the next N L1 indirect blocks is then sent. The technique permits parallel processing by loading indirect blocks to be processed while previously cached indirect blocks are being processed.

Techniques and systems are described for detecting malware's bulk transformation of a user's data before the malware is able to complete the data transformation. Included are methods and systems for enabling malware detection by monitoring the file operations of a computer application or process for particular kinds of suspicious data transformation indicators.
