Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for detecting malware. In use, a search is conducted for known elements of computer code. Upon the detection of at least one known element of computer code, various operations are performed. In particular, the present technique steps back in the computer code, and emulates the computer code. Such emulation and stepping are performed for detecting malware.
