Advanced Memory Scanner is a unique ESET technology which effectively addresses an important issue of modern malware – heavy use of obfuscation and/or encryption. To tackle these issues, Advanced Memory Scanner monitors the behavior of a malicious process and scans it once it decloaks in memory.
Whenever a process makes a system call from a new executable page, Advanced Memory Scanner performs a behavioral code analysis using ESET DNA Detections. Thanks to implementation of smart caching, Advanced Memory Scanner doesn't cause any noticeable deterioration in processing speeds.
Moreover, there is a new trend in advanced malware: some malicious code now operates "in-memory only", without needing persistent components in the file system that can be detected conventionally. Only memory scanning can successfully discover such malicious attacks and ESET is ready for this new trend with its Advanced Memory Scanner.
