abstract = "Malware is any software aiming to disrupt computer
operation. Malware is also used to gather sensitive
information or gain access to private computer systems.
This is widely seen as one of the major threats to
computer systems nowadays. Traditionally, anti-malware
software is based on a signature detection system which
keeps updating from the Internet malware database and
thus keeping track of known malwares. While this method
may be very accurate to detect previously known
malwares, it is unable to detect unknown malicious
codes. Recently, several machine learning methods have
been used for malware detection, achieving remarkable
success. In this paper, we propose a method in this
strand by using Genetic Programming for detecting
malwares. The experiments were conducted with the
malwares collected from an updated malware database on
the Internet and the results show that Genetic
Programming, compared to some other well-known machine
learning methods, can produce the best results on both
balanced and imbalanced datasets.",
