It's mathematically impossible to stop malware.
Due to Rice's Theorem, it's impossible to write a program that can perfectly determine if any given program is malicious.
This is because "being malicious" is a behavioral property of the program.

Yep. I’m not much of a programmer, but even I could write a program that would work fine for years. Do exactly what it was supposed to. And then, when some date or other trigger is hit, it’d assemble from random innocuous-looking code another program that nuked your computer and everything it could reach on the network. This isn’t even that hard 1.
