Abstract
An arrangement and method of threat detection in a computer or computer network in which a virtual machine or a software emulator is initialized in response to starting a software application at a local machine. The software application is passed to and started at the virtual machine or software emulator, and changes made by the software application run on the local machine to at least one file and/or system configuration value of the local machine are determined and backed-up. Application events and/or behavior is analyzed at the virtual machine or software emulator to determine malicious behavior of the application. The local machine is notified about the malicious behavior and the virtual machine or software emulator session is ended. Based on receiving the notification, the software application at the local machine is terminated and changes are reverted based on the backed-up version of at least one file and/or system configuration value.
