Abstract
Aspects of the present disclosure include systems and methods for detecting unwanted software. An exemplary method comprises identifying a first file associated with a first application and a second file installed on the computing device, wherein the first file is related to the second file, identifying a second application installed on the computing device that uses at least one of the first and second files, determining a first frequency of use for the first application and a second frequency of use for the second application, determining that the second application was installed at substantially the same time as the first application based on a comparison of the first frequency of use and the second frequency of use and determining that the first application is an unwanted application when the comparison of the first frequency and the second frequency results in a degree of similarity greater than a threshold value.
