Abstract
A system which discourages corruption of data within a network of computers. A refresh computer monitors the information within a hosting computer and periodically refreshes the information. The hosting computer provides the information to remote computers via the network. The refreshing action occurs either periodically or when a corruption of the information is detected. In some embodiments of the invention the hosting computer and the refresh computer are contained within the same housing; in other embodiments, the hosting computer and the refreshing computer communicate via the primary network or a secondary network.
