Method and apparatus for detecting malware and recording medium thereof

A method of detecting malware in a terminal, the method comprising:

• transferring information about a profile of the terminal to a virtual machine generated in a server, the virtual machine corresponding to the terminal;
• in response to the malware being detected in another terminal which is clustered into the same group as the terminal, receiving information with respect to the detection of the malware from the virtual machine;
• and
• displaying the received information with respect to the detection of the malware.

A server configured to detect malware of a terminal, the server comprising:

• a memory configured to store a plurality of virtual machines respectively corresponding to a plurality of terminals;
• a processor configured to cluster the plurality of virtual machines based on respective profile information of each terminal of the plurality of terminals;
• and
• a controller configured to provide, in response to the malware being detected in a first terminal among the plurality of terminals corresponding to a first virtual machine among the plurality of virtual machines, information with respect to the detection of malware to a second terminal among the plurality of terminals corresponding to a second virtual machine, the second virtual machine being clustered into the same group as the first virtual machine.

A terminal configured to detect malware, the terminal comprising:

• a transferor configured to transfer information about a profile of the terminal to a virtual machine generated in a server, the virtual machine corresponding to the terminal;
• a receiver configured to, in response to the malware being detected in another terminal which is clustered into the same group as the terminal, receive information with respect to a detection of malware from the virtual machine;
• and
• a display configured to display the received information with respect to the detection of the malware.
