Abstract

Techniques for categorizing programs running on an information handling system. One method includes, while a program is running on an information handling system in a manner that permits the program to infect the information handling system, calculating a first score and a second score. The first score is indicative of the likelihood that the program is malicious; the second score is indicative of the likelihood that the program is valid. This method further includes categorizing the program with respect to the likelihood of the program infecting the information handling system, including by categorizing the program as valid code based on the second score being above a threshold value, regardless of the first score.
