Malware are tiny software which are created to harm our computers or to steal valuable information. Recently with the advancement in machine learning algorithms, researches also started looking to a solution which can detect the malware and classify them automatically so that necessary step can be decided. In this paper we discussed and reviewed the methods adopted and suggested by various researchers to detect and classify malwares using machine learning and clustering algorithms. Since this is not a very old field so research papers used to review are not very old.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
