Abstract Malware attacks on Windows machines pose significant cybersecurity threats, necessitating effective detection and prevention mechanisms. Supervised machine learning classifiers have emerged as promising tools for malware detection. However, there remains a need for comprehensive studies that compare the performance of different classifiers specifically for Windows malware detection. Addressing this gap can provide valuable insights for enhancing cybersecurity strategies. While numerous studies have explored malware detection using machine learning techniques, there is a lack of systematic comparison of supervised classifiers for Windows malware detection. Understanding the relative effectiveness of these classifiers can inform the selection of… More >
