Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring a volatile memory in a computer system. Samples of compressed data from locations in the volatile memory in the computer system are read. Data in the volatile memory is reconstructed using the samples of compressed data. The data is an image of the volatile memory. The image enables determining whether an undesired process is present in the volatile memory.
