Abstract

A system and associated computer program product for identifying malware. The system includes one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on the one or more storage devices for execution by the one or more processors via the one or more memories. The program instructions include program instructions to receive a data communication simulating manual interaction between a user of the computer and the computer. The program instructions may determine that no user was interactively logged on to the computer approximately at a time the data communication was received by the computer, and in response, classify the data communication as a potential malware communication.
