7. The method of claim 6 , wherein determining that the process name of the process is similar to the process name of at least one known non-malicious process identified within the list of known non-malicious processes comprises: computing a similarity metric between the process name of the process and at least one process name identified within the list of known non-malicious processes; identifying at least one process name within the list of known non-malicious processes having a similarity metric with respect to the process name of the process that falls within a predefined inexact-match-metric range.
