Abstract: ABSTRACT [0018] The present invention discloses a comprehensive malware detection system that combines multiple detection mechanisms to provide resilient and scalable defence against a wide range of cyber threats. The system integrates the Virus Total API for signature-based detection, using a large database of antivirus engines. In addition, YARA rules are applied to identify malware patterns and file characteristics. Machine learning methods also analyse metadata and system activities for the discovery of previously unidentified threats, that wells as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) which extract intricate features in data to provide higher accuracy. The GUI scanner scans files on access with caching of scan results and blocks malware inside executable files that are already on disk, including those received over meta links or through USB/DVDs with autorun enabled. It also checks email attachments with the Gmail API, thus blocking malware sent via emails and reports in real time together with recommended actions and logs. Derived from its components, the solution provides file scanning capabilities and USB tracking/mail attachment checking for flexible protection. This solution can offer complete protection against known and unknown threats with minimal impact on system performance.
