Abstract
A computer-implemented method for classifying an unclassified process as a potentially trusted process based on dependencies of the unclassified process is described. A component loaded by the unclassified process is identified. A determination is made as to whether a hard dependency exists between the unclassified process and the loaded component. A hard dependency exists if the unclassified process depends on the loaded component in order to execute. The unclassified process is classified as a potentially trusted process if a hard dependency exists between the unclassified process and the loaded component.
