Patent number: 8572739Abstract: A computer includes modules that provide a shared library of functions callable by processes or other modules. A malicious module in the computer may be identified by enumerating modules needed by a process to operate. Modules currently loaded in the memory of the computer are also enumerated. A suspect or suspicious module may be identified as currently being loaded in the memory of the computer but not needed by a process to operate. The suspicious module may be deemed malicious (i.e., having malicious code, such as a computer virus) if the suspicious module does not export or provide a function for sharing to be called by other modules or process.Type: GrantFiled: October 27, 2009Date of Patent: October 29, 2013Assignee: Trend Micro IncorporatedInventors: Marvin Ubaldo Cruz, Michelle de la Pena Perona, Benjamin Rivera, Kerr Bryner Ang

Patent number: 8499349Abstract: A monitor agent monitors every write request for files that are capable of being patched (executable files). Once a write request is requested for one of these files, the agent creates a copy of the file and also saves the original file version number. If the program that is requesting the write access has not been digitally signed then that program is flagged as being suspicious. The write request is allowed to proceed and the file is modified by the requesting program. After the modification, if the file version number is not higher then the write is flagged as being suspicious. If both the requesting program has been flagged as suspicious and the file version number has been flagged as suspicious, then the requesting program is labeled as being malware. The monitor agent restores the modified file using the original copy. If either the requesting program is flagged as suspicious or the file version number is flagged as suspicious, then the requesting program is labeled as being suspicious.Type: GrantFiled: April 22, 2009Date of Patent: July 30, 2013Assignee: Trend Micro, Inc.Inventors: Marvin Ubaldo Cruz, Kerr Bryner Ang, Marilyn Melliang, Benjamin Rivera
