Software tool designed to detect characteristics of the malware objects

Abstract

Computer virus is the kind of phenomenon that emerged in the operation of the evolution of computers and information technology. Its essence lies in the fact that programs - viruses, endowed with a such of properties that are present in living organisms - they born, reproduce and die. In order to ensure information security, both, individuals and entire organizations, it is necessary to raise awareness about potential threats from malicious software such as computer viruses. Simulation of operation of malicious software allows user to understand a virus and choose the possible methods of fighting it. In this research, major features of the algorithms against the security threats from malicious software are simulated.
