What is polymorphic regarding malware?

To change and restructure in multiple ways, so as to show a different signature and thus avoid detection. For instance, if you link-edit a large group of object modules, their order is not 100% critical as long as they're accessed at the proper entry point.

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.
