Claim 12:
13. A threat detection platform that conducts selective virtualization of resources to enhance threat detection, comprising:
processing logic; and
a virtual machine adapted for receive signaling from the processing logic during virtual processing of a suspicious object, the virtual machine comprises
intercept logic configured to determine (i) whether an incoming request from a source is directed to a resource and (ii) a virtualization scheme to be conducted in connection with the resource, wherein the incoming request includes a system call for a service initiated by a process running at the source,
servicing logic being invoked by the intercept logic, the servicing logic is configured to (i) analyze state information associated with a source of the incoming request, (ii) determine a memory location for placement of data returned in response to the incoming request, and (iii) insert information to change an instruction pointer to reference an end of a function associated with the incoming request, and
redirect logic being invoked by the intercept logic, the redirect logic generates response data to the incoming request to cause the source to resume operation,

wherein operations of the source are temporarily halted in response to receipt of the incoming request.
