Malwares are continuously growing in sophistication and numbers. Over the last decade, remarkable progress has been achieved in anti-malware mechanisms. However, several pressing issues (e.g., unknown malware samples detection) still need to be addressed adequately. This article first presents a concise overview of malware along with anti-malware and then summarizes various research challenges. This is a theoretical and perspective article that is hoped to complement earlier articles and works.
