Abstract

A method for preventing virus infection in a computer. The method includes the following steps. First, receiving an executable file into the computer (29,28). Next, determining whether there is a key associated with the executable file. Following, if there is a key associated with the executable file, verifying (25) validity of the key. Finally, if the key is valid, processing (22) the executable file with a computational processing unit (CPU) of the computer. In some embodiments, if the key is invalid (27), the virus can be quarantined. In some embodiments, verified files are placed into an execution queue (24).
