In some embodiments, a malware detection system includes an attack channel removal unit, a feature extraction unit coupled to the attack channel removal unit, and a graphical encoding unit coupled to the feature extraction unit and a malware detection unit. In some embodiments, based upon graphically-encoded component-based features and monotonic features extracted from attack-channel-free software output by the attack channel removal unit, the malware detection unit detects malware in software input into the malware detection system. In some embodiments, the monotonic features extracted from the attack-channel free software and the graphically-encoded component-based features are combined to generate a combination monotonic-component based feature vector. In some embodiments, the combination monotonic-component based feature vector is used to detect malware using the malware detection system.
