Unknown File Statistics
- 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.
- 'This Week's Unknown File Statistics' is a graphical summary of your unknown files. It shows unknown files that were eventually deemed safe and whitelisted, unknown files that were found to be malware, and the number of unknown files that are still under analysis.
