Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A system, method, and computer program product are provided for detecting unwanted data based on scanning associated with a payload execution and a behavioral analysis. In use, an execution of a payload is detected, utilizing interface monitoring. Additionally, process memory associated with the execution of the payload is scanned. Further, a behavioral analysis is performed. Still yet, unwanted data is detected based on the scanning and the performance of the behavioral analysis.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions stored thereon that when executed cause one or more processing units to: detect an execution of a payload by utilizing interface monitoring; scan process memory associated with the execution of the payload for a match against at least one of a predefined plurality of signatures representing known unwanted data; perform a behavioral analysis to determine whether a threshold amount of the pa…
