Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture for detecting malware via analysis of a screen capture are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a process detector to detect execution of a macro-executing process. An image capturer is to, in response to detection of the macro-execution process, capture an image of a user interface of the macro-executing process. A similarity analyzer is to analyze the image to determine an image similarity to a stored image in a repository of malicious macro interfaces. A responder is to perform a responsive action in response to the image similarity meeting or exceeding a similarity threshold.
