Methods, apparati, and computer-readable media for detecting the presence
of malicious computer code in a plurality of e-mails. In a method
embodiment of the present invention, the following steps are performed
for each e-mail: calculating a feature vector (80), said feature vector
(80) being representative of a presence of at least one preselected
feature in the e-mail; calculating at least one score (S) based upon said
feature vector (80), each said score (S) being representative of a
frequency of occurrence of an instance of a feature; determining whether
any score (S) exceeds a preselected malicious threshold representative of
malicious computer code; and when a score (S) exceeds a preselected
malicious threshold, blocking said e-mail.
