Abstract
Novel methods, components, and systems for automatically detecting malicious software are presented. More specifically, methods, components, and systems for the automated deployment of generic signatures to detect malicious software. Even more specifically, computer implemented methods for determining whether a software application is likely malicious including computing at a client component a generic fingerprint for a software application, transmitting the generic fingerprint data to a server component, receiving at the client component information from the server component relating to the generic fingerprint of the software application, and following a prescribed set of actions based on the information received from the server.
