SYSTEM FOR REAL-TIME HEALING OF VITAL COMPUTER FILES

A method and healing system for healing a computer's vital files. The healing system includes a system healer having a database that stores a copy of the computer's vital files. The system healer receives identification of condition(s) under which a first vital file is to be changed. The system healer receives notification that the computer has detected a change in the first vital file. If the system healer ascertains that the condition(s) are satisfied, then the system healer replaces the stored copy of the first vital file by the changed first vital file in the system healer's database. If the system healer ascertains that the condition(s) are not satisfied then the system healer sends the stored copy of the first vital to the computer, resulting in replacement of the changed first vital file in the computer by the stored copy of the first vital file.
