Abstract

Current commercial anti-malware products fail to guarantee a 100% detection and prevention of malware. This paper proposes an evaluation framework called ATE (Anti-malware Technique Evaluator) that can be used to evaluate commercial anti-malware products. ATE identifies the vulnerabilities in anti-malware products by providing a set of requirements that must be fulfilled by the anti-malware product being evaluated. The ATE requirements used for evaluating anti-malware products go beyond the usual false positives, false negative, performance etc requirements employed by current anti-malware product evaluations.
