Abstract:
A method and apparatus for monitoring a computer to detect operating system process manipulation by malicious software programs is disclosed. In one embodiment, a method for detecting operating system process manipulation through unexpected process behavior includes accessing process behavior indicia regarding memory addresses used by at least one user mode process to request computer resources and comparing the process behavior indicia with a user mode request to identify operating system process manipulation.
