ABSTRACT:
A computer has protected resources presenting threat vectors that malicious software can use to attack the computer. A security module has monitoring components that monitor the protected resources to detect malicious software. The security module detects if a protected resource enters a steady security state. In response to a protected resource entering a steady state, the security module selectively disables the components that monitor the protected resource, thereby conserving the computing resources utilized by the security module and freeing the computing resources for other tasks. If the resource exits the steady security state, the security module temporarily blocks access to the resource while it enables the monitoring components for that resource.
