All over the world, thousands of people created malware. Because of this we are experiencing an ever growing security problem with malicious code and consequently seeing the malware analysis research as a new scientific field. Malware has been used by cybercriminals as weapons in compromising security of system. Everyday new variants of malware are created by malware authors to evade detection by anti-malware engines. It became a serious threat for the information security from the past decade. Despite so many corrective measures, the threat is increasing in an unprecedented rate which is a motivation for the researchers to work on it. Today’s it is clear that how difficult for anti-malware companies to tackle attacks and also releases there new updates within a limited time to prevent their customers from malware infection. It must we clear Malware protection is a very important task of anti-malware companies as we know a huge data and money can be lost just because of one single attack. In this paper, researchers first provide a brief overview on malware and needs on malware detection. This study presents a systematic and detailed survey of the malware detection mechanisms using data mining techniques. In this study, besides presenting the full and comprehensive literature on malware definitions, types, various detection techniques and methods, our objective is to give an idea about various techniques that are used for representing the malware samples. The objective of the study is to provide a reference, which could be suitable for further studies to develop malware detection system.
