Abstract
A method for detecting a harmful file includes detecting activity of a driver in an operating system by intercepting an Application Programming Interface (API) request from the driver to an application. The detected activity of the driver is analyzed to determine if the driver is dangerous. A search for a file that is linked to the application and that uses the driver is performed, in response to determining that the driver is dangerous. The file found by the search is declared to be harmful.
