ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for validating integrity of an executable file are described. In one aspect, the systems and methods determine that an executable file is being introduced into a path of execution. The executable file is then automatically evaluated in view of multiple malware checks to detect if the executable file represents a type of malware. The multiple malware checks are integrated into an operating system trust verification process along the path of execution.
