Malware research introduction

 The malware problem has become a significant issue among computer and network users (Masud et al., 2011). Malware is malicious software developed by hackers and designed to infect the personal computer without the owner's permission, to steal information or harm the system (Masud et al., 2011). Typically, malware infects a computer through email, website, or external hard devices (Hosch, 2020). Therefore, malware has become a threat for individuals and organisations since it exploits the vulnerabilities in a network for malicious actions.
