Metamorphic Viruses Detection Using Artificial Immune System

This paper introduces a new artificial immune system for metamorphic viruses detection, the suggested system uses components and techniques found in the biological immune system such as multilayer, self, nonself , skin,skeleton, B-cell and receptors. In this study; metamorphic viruses are generated by two tools: Next Generation Virus Creation Kit (NGVCK0.30) and Virus Creation Lab for Windows 32 (VCL32). The implementation shows that 86% of metamorphic viruses can be detected by using the suggested system, while less than 20% of NGVCK and VCL32 viruses can be detected by using the commercial antivirus software.
