All the current virus protection techniques are rely on anti-virus program. In this paper, some basic techniques are proposed to protect computer virus. They are based on PKI(Public Key Infrastructure). First, file integrity is offered by producer's signature, so modified program can be detected easily. Second, virus programming can be protected by authenticated relationship between file and producer. It uses certificate offered by CA(Certification Authority) of PKI. The last technique is to define 'file action type'. By this method, all program can be monitored by operating system. Here for the proposed structure, its procedure and performance is analyzed.
