Embodiment 1

[0097] figure 2 A flowchart showing a method for troubleshooting useless software based on key locations in the system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Such as figure 2 As shown, the method includes the following steps S202 to S216.

[0098] Step S202, traversing each key location in the system, and obtaining information registered at a designated location in the registry during the software installation process.

[0099] The key locations here refer to some registry entries in the registry of the system that record software installation or running information. The information registered by the software at the specified location in the registry may include its own associated program information, application path information, uninstallation item information, and so on. Since the information registered by the software in the specified location of the registry is different, the corresponding methods for determining whether there is abnormal data are also ...

Embodiment 2

[0110] image 3 A flowchart showing a method for troubleshooting useless software based on an entry of calling software in the system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Such as image 3 As shown, the method includes the following steps S302 to S314.

[0111] Step S302, traversing the entries of each calling software in the system, and obtaining the installed software called by each entry, and / or the installation and / or operating parameters of the installed software.

[0112] Here, the entry for invoking the software may include a start menu, a start item, a desktop shortcut, a right mouse button, and the like. Since the entrances of calling software are different, the corresponding ways of determining whether abnormal data exists therein are also different.

[0113] Step S304, taking the start menu as the entry of calling software as an example, check whether the file or call path of the installed software called through the start menu exists, if yes, cont...

[0121] Figure 4 A flow chart showing a method for troubleshooting useless software combined with cloud remote recording according to an embodiment of the present invention. Such as Figure 4 As shown, the method includes the following steps S400 to S414.

[0122] Step S400, record the software installation process record by calling total uninstall, and compare it with the data installed by the software in the system, and / or call process monitor to record the software update process record, and compare it with the software in the system Compare with updated data.

[0123] Step S402, judging whether the comparison results of the two in step S400 are completely the same, if yes, proceed to step S404; otherwise, proceed to step S406.

[0124] Step S404. Determine that there is no abnormal data, check and confirm that the software is useful software, and update the corresponding non-existing information in the registry, maintain the installed software information in the system ...

Abstract

The invention provides a method and device for investigating useless software. The method comprises the steps that installation and / or operation parameters of installed software in a browsing system are obtained; the installation and / or operation parameters of the installed software are detected to determine whether abnormal data exist in the parameters, and a determination result is obtained; if the determination result is yes, the software is investigated and determined to be useless. By detecting the installation and / or operation parameters of the installed software, whether the software is useless is judged according to the result that whether abnormal data exist in the parameters, and the purpose of flexibly, quickly and accurately investigating useless software is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of computers, in particular to a method and device for checking useless software. Background technique [0002] Software (Software) is a collection of computer data and instructions organized in a specific order. Generally speaking, software is divided into programming languages, system software, application software, and middleware between the two. Software does not only include computer programs that can run on computers (the computer here refers to computers in a broad sense), and documents related to these computer programs are generally considered to be part of the software. Simply put, software is a collection of programs and documents. [0003] For useless software, such as software that cannot be used due to file loss or registry damage, software that users subjectively define as useless software, and software that cannot be used beyond the trial period, the related art does not provide a solution ...
