Preventing execution of malicious instructions based on address specified in a branch instruction
In one aspect of the embodiments, malicious instructions executed or to be executed by a processor in a computing device are identified and preventive action is taken in response to that detection, thereby preventing harm to the computing device and the user's data by the malicious instructions. In another aspect of the embodiments, a thread context monitor determines which thread are active within an operating system at any given time, which further enhances the ability to determine which thread contains malicious instructions.
