Interesting.  Your system can determine intent just by reading load
modules?    That's neat.   I'm about to maliciously use IEBGENER
to wipe out the directory of a library and you can detect that.
Or I'm going to embezzle gobs of money by rounding up rather
truncating (or whatever that technique is).

Looking for a virus with an obvious signiture is maybe not too
hard.  Looking for "non normative code, a code that makes things 
not allowed or planned intentionally or not" is another matter 
altogether.  I'm willing to be proven wrong, but I suspect any
system that claims to do that would be so plagued with false
positives (and probably false negatives) that it would be next
to useless.
