- Files that Verdict's initial analysis cannot classify as definitely safe nor definitely malware are given a status of 'Unknown'.
- Unknown files undergo further analysis to determine whether they are safe or malicious.
- The 'Unknown File Statistics' page shows details of file verdict changes and the average period taken to declare unknown files as either clean or malicious.
