Techniques are described herein for, without rebooting a computing device, unloading at least a component of a kernel-mode component of the computing device and loading an updated version of the component of the kernel-mode component. The techniques may be performed by an integrity manager associated with the kernel-mode component. The integrity manager may also determine integrity of the kernel-mode component by causing the kernel-mode component to perform an action associated with a known reaction, determining whether the known reaction occurred, and in response, performing a remediation action or notifying a remote security service. Further, the integrity manager may determine whether any computing device lists include representations of components or connections associated with the kernel-mode component. The integrity manager may then remove the representations from the lists or remove the representations from responses to requests for contents of the computing device lists. |
