1. A method for detecting a presence of malware within an application based on analysis by a central intelligence engine processed by a processor within a computing system, the method comprising: identifying a region of interest within an application that is running in a virtual machine, the region of interest corresponds to one or more portions of code of the application that are considered to potentially include improperly behaving code; determining specific stimuli that will cause one or more state transitions within the application to reach the region of interest; applying the stimuli to the application; and monitoring one or more behaviors of the application during virtual execution of the application within the virtual machine in response to the applied stimuli to determine whether the one or more behaviors identify that the region of interest corresponds to improperly behaving code that includes malicious code.
