Abstract
According to one embodiment, a computerized method comprises three operations. First, an exploit is determined to have been activated on a client device to transition a state of the client device from a non-infected state to an infected state. Second, a software image is determined prior to the client device receiving the object including the exploit. Lastly, an operating state of the client device is restored by at least reinstalling the software image on the client device so that the client device reverts to an operating state of the client device prior to activation of the exploit.
