1. A non-transitory machine readable medium on which are stored instructions comprising instructions that when executed by a programmable device, cause the programmable device to:
- determine, utilizing a first level of monitoring of the programmable device, an absence of an activity on the programmable device associated with an increased vulnerability of a programmable device to malware; and
dynamically adjust to a second level of monitoring of the programmable device responsive to the determination,wherein the second level of monitoring monitors fewer types of accesses performed by the activity than the first level of monitoring.

Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for dynamically adjusting a level of security applied to a system. In use, predetermined activity that is at least potentially associated with unwanted activity is identified on a system. Further, a level of security applied to the system is dynamically adjusted, in response to the identification of the predetermined activity.

13. A method, comprising:
-
determining, utilizing a first level of monitoring of a programmable device, an absence of an activity on the programmable device associated with an increased vulnerability of a programmable device to malware; and adjusting dynamically to a second level of monitoring of the programmable device responsive to the determination, wherein the second level of monitoring monitors fewer types of accesses performed by the activity than the first level of monitoring. - View Dependent Claims (14)

15. A programmable device, comprising:
-
a memory; and a processing device operatively communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein instructions are stored in the memory, comprising instructions that when executed cause the processing device to; determine, utilizing a first level of monitoring of the programmable device, an absence of an activity on the programmable device associated with an increased vulnerability of a programmable device to malware; and dynamically adjust to a second level of monitoring of the programmable device responsive to the determination, wherein the second level of monitoring monitors fewer types of accesses performed by the activity than the first level of monitoring. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
