Abstract
A method for creating a collection with optimized family-specific signatures for protecting from malware includes collecting statistics of potential signatures for chosen sample attribute vectors, the statistics of potential signatures being collected for clean files and malware files, estimating a probability to find a potential signature in the clean files, grouping malware files with the same signature in clusters (families), choosing the most optimal signature for the malware family files based on a predefined target function, and exporting a collection with optimized family-specific signatures configured to be implemented by scan engines.
