What is a Polymorphic virus?

A polymorphic virus is an advanced type of computer virus. It is similar to an encrypted virus in that it consists of an encrypted copy of the virus and a small decrypting module but every time a polymorphic virus infects a file it encrypts itself differently and rewrites the decrypting module. A well written polymorphic virus therefore has no parts that remain the same between infections making it hard for anti-virus software to detect using virus signatures.
