How to Disable a Software Bomb: Know the Procedure for Rehabilitating Risky System Software
Overview A software bomb is a piece of software that lurks in one's system undocumented or unsupported, but is ready to "Go off" at any time. A software bomb can be a simple program or a pervasive system. It's typically a piece of software written sometime in the past - perhaps by a developer who is no longer with the company, or by a third-party company that has since gone bankrupt - that is nonetheless critical to the organization. The dot-com era left with loads of unsupported yet mission-critical software, and much of the mobile software from the turn of the millennium is completely undocumented.
