Abstract
A reference file set having high-confidence malware severity classification is generated by selecting a subset of files from a group of files first observed during a recent observation period and including them in the subset. A plurality of other antivirus providers are polled for their third-party classification of the files in the subset and for their third-party classification of a plurality of files from the group of files not in the subset. A malware severity classification is determined for the files in the subset by aggregating the polled classifications from the other antivirus providers for the files in the subset after a stabilization period of time, and one or more files having a third-party classification from at least one of the polled other antivirus providers that changed during the stabilization period to the subset are added to the subset.
