There used to be a popular remote access trojan called Back Orifice.  It works 
exceptionally well and could totally root a windows box.  The problem was that 
it got its malware signature in every anti-malware suite out there.  But there 
has come to light a solution to that problem.  Enter the "polymorphic malware 
engine."  These are state of the art re-coding software kits.  They basically 
get the idea of what the software does and use different code to have the 
malware do the same thing.  In short form the program is identical to its 
original malware, but using different code to accomplish the same task.

Back to Back Orifice, it had its executable code (in .exe form) used in one of 
the polymorphic engines and was able to do exactly what it did in its original 
form but without having any known malware signature that could be detected by 
any anti-viral suites.  Its an intriguing use of getting something done, 
producing the same result, but using different coed to accomplish the same 
task.
