IDA is a disassembler, not a antimalware product. Your question itself isnt invalid but the question is something like this "how can i make Apollo 11 with a hammer " .
Anyway , to be specific to your question - you have to make sure 1. you unpacked the file(if its packed) , 2. dont run the file by mistake (use a lab environment thats why) . Then figure out what it will do/does (Again running it in a sandboxed environment environment will yield your result much easier) . This is the basics . But each of the steps involve complexity . You can check different malware analysis sites on the net for examples
