Research Output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding Conference contribution Peer-review

Abstract

Malware is a widespread problem and despite the common use of anti-virus software, the diversity of malware is still increasing. A major challenge facing the anti-virus industry is how to effectively detect thousands of malware samples that are received every day.
