Abstract
Method, apparatus, and computer readable medium for detecting malware on a target computer system is described. A threat profile is obtained at the target computer, the threat profile having manifestation information for known malware, the manifestation information including effects of the known malware on computer systems infected by the known malware. Using the threat profile, at least a portion of the manifestation information is detected on the target computer. A confidence level for detection of potential malware is determined based on the at least a portion of the manifestation information detected. The potential malware on the target computer is convicted as malware for remediation if the confidence level satisfies a threshold confidence level.
