Abstract

In one respect, there is provided a system for classifying malware. The system may include a data processor and a memory. The memory may include program code that provides operations when executed by the processor. The operations may include: providing, to a display, contextual information associated with a file to at least enable a classification of the file, when a malware classifier is unable to classify the file; receiving, in response to the providing of the contextual information, the classification of the file; and updating, based at least on the received classification of the file, the malware classifier to enable the malware classifier to classify the file. Methods and articles of manufacture, including computer program products, are also provided.
