Technical Details

Suspicious or harmful behavior in a sandbox

To examine a program or file's actions more closely, the security product will run it in an isolated, tightly controlled virtual environment that mimics a normal computer system (a sandbox). The program or file's actions within the sandbox are monitored, and if it performs suspicious or harmful actions, it will trigger a detection.

The detection 'Memscan:[variable]' (where [variable] can be 'trojan', 'worm', 'virus' or similar) indicates that suspicious processes or components were found in the sandbox's virtual memory after the program or file was run.
