Malware damages computers without user's consent; they cause various threats unknowingly, hence detection of these is very crucial. In this study, we proposed to detect the presence of malware by using the classification technique of Machine Learning. Classification type in Machine Learning requires the output variable to be of a categorical kind; it attempts to draw some conclusion from the ascertained values. In short, classification constructs a model based on the training set and values or predicts categorical class labels. In our work, we propose to classify the presence of malware by incorporating two chief classification algorithms, such as Support Vector Machine and Logistic Regression. The data set used for it was not satisfactory. Consequently, we tend to explore a data set that met our necessities and enforced Logistic Regression on the same moreover, we plotted a scatter-gram for the scope of visualization and incorporated XG-Boost for the performance enhancement. This study assists in analyzing the presence of malware by adopting a proper dataset and ascertaining pivotal attributes leading to this classification.
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.
