One of the most significant issues facing internet users nowadays is malware. Malware is any
software intentionally designed to cause damage to a computer, server, client, or computer
network. A wide variety of malware types exist, including computer viruses, worms, Trojan
horses, ransomware, spyware, adware, rogue software, wiper and scareware. Polymorphic
malware is a new type of malicious software that is more adaptable than previous generations
of viruses. Machine learning algorithms can be used to detect malware by identifying its
behaviour and other characteristics.
❑ Cross-Platform Compatibility
❑ Data Diversity
❑ Anomaly Detection
❑ Real-time Detection
❑ Malicious software not only targets a variety of operating systems (e.g., Windows,
macOS, Android, iOS) but also continuously evolves to evade traditional signature-
based detection methods.
❑ Consequently, there is an urgent need for a robust and adaptive malware detection
system that can effectively identify and classify malware across diverse platforms.
