Abstract
A method suitable for detecting malicious files includes several steps. A file that is received into a computer system is analyzed to determine a presence or absence of each of a plurality of predefined properties in the file. A score is calculated based on the presence or absence of the plurality of properties in the file. This score is reflective of the risk that the file is malicious. Once the score is calculated, the file can be further processed based on the score.
