  • System and method for host-level malware detection
    Patent number: 8468602
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes: accessing a set of configuration parameters, accessing a set of identifiers of files known not to be malware, and accessing a set of identifiers of files known to be malware. Further, the method includes: comparing a first file to the set of configuration parameters, determining that a first hash of the first file is not in the set of identifiers of files known not to be malware and that the first hash is not in the set of identifiers of files known to be malware, and sending the at least one file and information related to the at least one file to be analyzed for malware. The method includes deleting the set of configuration parameters, the set of identifiers of files known not to be malware, and the set of identifiers of files known to be malware after sending the first file.
