Abstract
It is a difficult issue in the anti-virus field about how to detect unknown and packed PE (Portable Executable) viruses effectively, and existing schemes for anti-virus detection are dissatisfactory. Based on an analysis of the logical structures of Windows PE file and PE virus, a new method of PE virus detection is presented here, which exploits fragile software watermarking technique for virus detection. It describes how the new scheme embeds a software watermark into the PE files for virus detection. The experiment shows that the new method has a higher rate in detecting unknown PE virus than some existing ones, and can detect directly the packed PE virus.
