Can Malware be detected with 100% certainty?
Yes and No. Gargoyle can be used to detect the presence of files installed by a particular malicious application. If the files are detected by Gargoyle, then the files installed are from one or more malware applications. However, it is possible these detected files may also be installed by other legitimate applications also. These detections are called false positives. Each Gargoyle dataset is scanned against various test systems and the NIST NSRL to minimize the potential false positives before it is released.
