Abstract

Malwares now a days has become a big threat to the digital world around the globe. It target the network, system and penetrate into it, get access to the computers, brings down the servers, steal confidential information, ask for ransom, harm the critical infrastructure etc. to deal with the threats from these malwares and attack many anti- malwares have been developed so far. Some of them are based on the assumption that malwares do not change their structure. But with the with the advancements second generation malwares can create their variants that’s why they are hard to detect. We present our survey on evolutionary malware and its detection techniques.
