Re: The Fix

Any virus/ransomware is a computer code that needs to run in order to infect. Unlike human virus, ransomware can not run by itself. Any program code and script must invoke by OS kernel/interpreter in order to run ( kernel pass the control of CPU to the code). Therefore, kernel can check if the code is authorize before pass the control to it. So kernel/interpreter can checking if the code resides in the authorized libraries/folders, if not, won't let it run. Only system admin with special privilege can save any code in these libraries. This method can stop any virus/ransomware even the new one without the need of anti-virus program. For remote website Java script, we need to check if the IP address is trustworthy.
