Abstract
The origin of malware on the pc platform
can be traced to the 1980s when two Pakistani
brother tried to proof that the pc platform had
security flaws. Malware writers over the years have
continued to find techniques to make the detection
of their malware difficult. They moved from
packing, to polymorphism and now to
metamorphism just to make current detection
systems ineffective. Literature suggests that there
have been quite a number of detection mechanisms
proposed but still generate false positives. It is the
aim of this paper to create a taxonomy of modern
malware detection system to aid further research in
the area of malware detection.
