Polymorphic code was the first technique that posed a serious threat to virus scanners. Just like regular encrypted viruses, a polymorphic virus infects files with an encrypted copy of itself, which is decoded by a decryption module. In the case of polymorphic viruses, however, this decryption module is also modified on each infection. A well-written polymorphic virus therefore has no parts which remain identical between infections, making it very difficult to detect directly using signatures. Antivirus software can detect it by decrypting the viruses using an emulator, or by statistical pattern analysis of the encrypted virus body. To enable polymorphic code, the virus has to have a polymorphic engine (also called mutating engine or mutation engine) somewhere in its encrypted body. See Polymorphic code for technical detail on how such engines operate.[21] Some viruses employ polymorphic code in a way that constrains the mutation rate of the virus significantly. For example, a virus can be programmed to mutate only slightly over time, or it can be programmed to refrain from mutating when it infects a file on a computer that already contains copies of the virus. The advantage of using such slow polymorphic code is that it makes it more difficult for antivirus professionals to obtain representative samples of the virus, because bait files that are infected in one run will typically contain identical or similar samples of the virus. This will make it more likely that the detection by the virus scanner will be unreliable, and that some instances of the virus may be able to avoid detection.
How is the virus transferred to human the movie Outbreak?

THE EVENTUAL CURE WAS THAT OF THE ANTIDOTE IN THE HOST MONKEYS BLOOD.
What is name of the polymorphic virus outbreak in 1991?
the answer Tequila is the name of the outbreak in 1991
What is the name of the polymorphic virus outbreak?
There have been several polymorphic virus outbreaks. In 1991, the Tequila virus was the cause.
What is the name of the polymorphic virus in 1991?
The name is Polymorphicalayyelas virus
Which virus can change its own code?
polymorphic
What is polymorphic virus?
A polymorphic virus is a virus that can "shape-shift" from every infection, making it extremely hard for antiviruses using virus signatures to detect viruses to detect it.
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.
As a virus replicates it changes its characteristics?
polymorphic
Does Polymorphic Change itself from a virus to a worm?
A polymorphic virus not only replicates itself by creating multiple files of itself, but it also changes it's digital signature every time it replicates.
Viruses that periodically change their code to avoid detection are called?
polymorphic virus

Which of the following classifications of viruses can change its own code to avoid detection?
it is called polymorphic virus
Kinds of virus?
There are about nine types of computer viruses. They include the boot sector virus. the browser hijacker, direct action virus, file infector virus, macro virus, Multipartite Virus, Polymorphic Virus, Resident Virus, and Web Scripting Virus.
