Malware is a worldwide epidemic. Studies suggest that the impact of malware is getting worse. Malware detectors are the primary tools in defense against malware. The quality of such a detector is determined by the techniques it uses. It is therefore imperative that we study malware detection techniques and understand their strengths and limitations. This survey examines 45 malware detection techniques and offers an opportunity to compare them against one another aiding in the decision making process involved with developing a secure application/system. The survey also provides a comprehensive bibliography as an aid to researchers in malware detection.
