Malicious programming is outlined with a hurtful intent. Recently, malicious detectors attempt to distinguish unwanted codes by checking Application Programming Interface (API) calls using data mining techniques and/or different methods. Matching the API call utilizing data mining strategies can be utilized as a part of malicious detection systems, for example, frequent pattern, clustering, etc. In this study, a review of malicious detection system based on API calls and data mining strategies are taking into account. Each malicious sample is represented as a data of API calls to the data mining techniques. After transforming the sample that input as a simplified data based on data mining techniques, data mining matching calculations are utilized to similarity between the data tested sample and malicious API call tested samples placed in a database. In this study, a review of utilization of various data mining methods for the detection of malicious program. ER -
