Abstract

See full text

One embodiment includes a method and computer program product for distributing and/or receiving a first emulator extension with respect to an emulator capable of performing an emulation using emulation code. The first emulator extension includes program instructions that aid in the process of emulating in order to detect potentially unwanted computer software. Such program instructions of the first emulator extension are additional beyond that associated with the emulator code, for assisting the emulator code in the emulation by patching the additional program instructions into the emulator in order to aid in detecting the potentially unwanted computer software within the suspect code. In use, an emulation is performed using the first emulator extension and the suspect code. The emulation is performed within an insulated environment in a computer system so that the computer system is insulated from potentially unwanted actions of the suspect code.
