Abstract

Over the last decades, there were lots of studies made on
malware and their countermeasures. The most recent reports
emphasize that the invention of malicious software is rapidly
increasing. Moreover, the intensive use of networks and
Internet increases the ability of the spreading and the
effectiveness of this kind of software. On the other hand,
researchers and manufacturers making great efforts to produce
anti-malware systems with effective detection methods for
better protection on computers. In this paper, a detailed
review has been conducted on the current situation of
malware infection and the work done to improve anti-malware
or malware detection systems. Thus, it provides an up-to-date
comparative reference for developers of malware detection
systems.
