Abstract
System and method for detecting ransomware. A current user behavior pattern is monitored based on user input via a user input device. The user behavior is compared against a reference set of behavior patterns associated with user frustration with non-responsiveness of the user interface module. A current status pattern of the operating system is also monitored. The current status pattern is compared against a reference set of operating system status patterns associated with predefined ransomware behavior. In response to indicia of current user frustration with non-responsiveness of the user interface, and further in response to indicia of the current status pattern having a correlation to the predefined ransomware behavior, an indication of a positive detection of ransomware executing on the computer system is provided.
