Abstract
Techniques for aggregating a knowledge base of a plurality of security services or other event collection systems to protect a computer from malware are provided. In embodiments, a computer is protected from malware by using anti-malware services or other event collection systems to observe suspicious events that are potentially indicative of malware. A determination is made as to whether a combination of the suspicious events is indicative of malware. If the combination of suspicious events is indicative of malware, a restrictive security policy designed to prevent the spread of malware is implemented.
