A system for detecting creation of a program instance includes an interceptor routine that obtains a parameter corresponding to a characteristic of a program instance and an interceptor module that can be injected into a native operating system process. In certain examples, the interceptor module can replace an address of a selected routine in an address table with an address to the interceptor routine, such that the native operating system process can call the interceptor routine in place of the selected routine. Additionally, the system can include a comparison module that compares the parameter to a set of identified programs to determine whether the program instance corresponds to at least one of the identified programs. The system can also include a security module that can modify execution of the program instance based at least in part on a determination that the program instance corresponds to at least one identified program.
