Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for conditionally performing an action based on an attribute. In use, at least one attribute associated with an object is determined. Additionally, an event associated with the object is identified. Further, at least one action is conditionally performed in association with the event, based on the at least one attribute.

Abstract: A host-based antimalware client can interface with a server-based antimalware support server. A file is identified at a host device. It is determined whether local reputation data for the file is available at the host device for the file. A query is sent to an antimalware support system relating to the file. Particular reputation data is received from the antimalware support system corresponding to the query. It is determined whether to allow the file to be loaded on the host device based at least in part on the particular reputation data.

Abstract: A system, method and computer program product are provided. In use, execution of a portion of internal code of an interface is identified. Further, in response to the execution of the portion of internal code, at least one aspect of an invocation of the interface is monitored and/or analyzed.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for monitoring an execution flow of a function. In use, data associated with a function is identified within a call stack. Additionally, a call stack frame is determined from freed memory in the call stack. Further, an execution flow of the function is monitored, utilizing the call stack frame from the freed memory.

Abstract: A system, method and computer readable medium pertaining to evaluation of events from a computer system to assess security risks to that system. Events are evaluated according to the aspects of each event and the aspects are used to make a preliminary determination regarding violation of a security rule. In addition to a preliminary determination of a rule violation, exceptions to the rule may be identified.
