Abstract: A method for malware protection includes receiving detection information for detecting malware on an electronic device, accessing historical information of an electronic device, comparing the detection information to the historical information, and based on the comparison of the detection information with the historical information, alerting a user of the electronic device of risks of malware evidenced by the historical information. Comparing detection information to historical information includes determining that information from a first category of historical information is associated with a source of malware, cross-referencing information from a second category of historical information to the information from the first category, and associating the information from the second category with the malware.
