| Summary: | Methods, apparati, and computer-readable media for determining whether computer code contains malicious code. In a method embodiment, the computer code is optimized to produce optimized code; and the optimized code is subject to a malicious code detection protocol. In an embodiment, the optimizing comprises at least one of constant folding, copy propagation, non-obvious dead code elimination, code motion, peephole optimization, abstract interpretation, instruction specialization, and control flow graph reduction. |
