[QUOTE="Andy Ful, post: 814988, member: 32260"] The way of using some APIs by malware usually differs from using them by most clean applications. So, AVs can hook on the APIs commonly used by malware and look for suspicious patterns. The legal applications may also use the hooked APIs, so the AV developer has to find the patterns which will be characteristic to malware files. [/QUOTE]
