Abstract
A process for identifying potentially harmful malware, comprises the steps of: a) identifying an executable that is about to run; b) providing a monitoring agent that monitors all threads that are descendent of a thread initiated by the process of said executable; and c) configuring said monitoring agent to conclude that a high probability of malware presence exists, if one of said descendent threads reaches a target process in which suspicious patches are created.
