Abstract
Knowledge of a module's behavior when the module's reputation is formed is obtained. If the module's behavior changes, this change is detected. In one embodiment, upon a determination that the module's behavior has changed, the module's original reputation is lost. In this manner, malicious trusted modules are detected and defeated.
