Metamorphic computer virus detection by Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) methods
Abdellatif Berkat · International Journal of Software Engineering & Applications · 2011
Metamorphic virus employs code obfuscation techniques to mutate itself. It absconds from signaturebased detection system by modifying internal structure without compromising original functionality.In this paper, we propose a new method, for detecting metamorphic computer viruses, that is based on the technique of Case-Based Reasoning (CBR).In this method:-Can detect similar viruses with high probability.-The updating of the virus database is done automatically without connecting to the Internet.Whenever a new virus is detected, it will be automatically added to the database used by our application.This presents a major advantage.
