Abstract The purpose of this research is to develop an algorithm for finding virus signatures. The method of searching for virus signatures was analyzed to achieve this goal. A brief description of the Boyer-Moore algorithm was also considered. The result of the research is a new algorithm that optimizes the speed of finding virus signatures by scanning the beginning and end of the file, since these are common cases where viruses are located. The practical significance of this research lies in the development of an algorithm for finding virus signatures, which reduces the risk of infection of the operating system with viruses and provides the ability to quickly detect malware.
