Behavior-blocking [flim-flam on the Finjan?]

I did a Google for something [don't remember what] & got several hits about something called "behavior blocking software."

For reasons of curiosity, I did a Google on "behavior-blocking software" & got several pages of hits.

I read some stuff about how behavior blocking is better than using virus signatures or heuristics. One name that kept popping up as a *pioneer* in this area is Finjan Software. Here's a cut & paste of the name of one of their products...

"SurfinShield, Finjan Software's behavior-blocking software"

Can anyone explain what behavior-blocking SW is? Further, why are these hallowed halls silent on what seems to be a hot topic?

Or is it just that I am a lousy searcher?
