Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for rolling back protection processes. In one aspect, a method includes determining that a file is a malicious file, storing a duplicate of the file in a quarantine area, performing one or more protection processes on the file, if the determination that the file is a malicious file is a false positive determination, restoring the file by a pre-boot rollback process to a state prior to the one or more protection processes performed on the file, and booting the computer with the restored file, and if the determination that the file is a malicious file is not a false positive determination, not restoring the file to a state prior to the one or more protection processes performed on the file, and booting the computer.
