Introducing File Diff: Enhancing Malware Cleanup Transparency

This enhancement allows our customers to view the exact differences (in unified format diff) between infected and cleaned files.

What is the File Diff Feature?

The file diff feature displays a side-by-side comparison between the original infected file and the cleaned version. This highlights exactly what code was removed during cleanup, making it easier to understand the nature of the infection and verify the effectiveness of the cleaning process.

How to Use the File Diff Feature

Accessing the new diff feature is simple through the Imunify UI:

• Review the highlighted differences showing exactly what code was removed during cleanup, with a clear comparison between the infected and cleaned versions.
