Score

A Score is assigned to each file. Negative scores, from -1 to -100 denote files that are deemed

Abnormal or Unsafe. The score represents the confidence level that the file is malware. The higher the

negative number, the greater the confidence.

File Type

The file is assigned a type, based on the score.

File Types:

 Unsafe: A file with a score ranging from -60 to -100. An Unsafe file is one in which the Advanced

Threat Prevention agent finds attributes that greatly resemble malware.

 Abnormal: A file with a score ranging from -1 to -59. An Abnormal file has a few malware attributes

but fewer than an unsafe file, thus is less likely to be malware.

Note: Occasionally, a file may be classified as Unsafe or Abnormal even though the score displayed doesn’t

match the range for the classification. This could result from updated findings or additional file analysis after the

initial detection. For the most up-to-date analysis, enable Auto Upload in the Device Policy.
