Oligomorphic code, also known as semi-polymorphic code, is a method used by a computer virus to obfuscate its decryptor by generating different versions of it, in order to evade detection by antivirus software. It is similar to, but less sophisticated than, polymorphic code. Oligomorphic code works by randomly selecting each piece of the decryptor from several predefined alternatives. At run time, these components can be combined in various ways to create new, distinct versions of the decryptor.
