- MichaelGG 12y agoI don't think that's even possible. The best you could do is analyze a program and see if it does things that are "suspicious". Otherwise it's just going to match known binaries/strings. It'd take an amazingly complicated scanner to detect if GlassWire was, for instance, capturing your DNS requests and sending them somewhere. Or allowing updates to get loaded into its process space. I'd guess you'd need a nearly general AI to determine if any program is malicious.
