ABSTRACT:
A call to a file system function is intercepted in the context of a caller, and stalled. A determination is made whether malicious code, such as a peer-to peer (P2P) computer worm, is detected based upon the call. Upon a determination that malicious code is detected, protective action is taken, such as terminating the call to the file system function, and, optionally, a notification generated. Alternatively, upon a determination that malicious code is not detected, the call to the file system function is released.
