I'm not a master in this branch however let me citate one of the
aritcles found on the server you sent me (i also recomend you to read it):

----- CUT --------------------------------------------------------------
" There exists a system of division of polymorphic viruses into levels
according to complexity of code in decryptors of those viruses. Such a
system was introduced by Dr. Alan Solomon and then enhanced by Vesselin
Bontchev.

Level 1: Viruses having a set of decryptors with constant code,
choosing one while infecting. Such viruses are called "semi-polymorphic"
or "oligomor phic".

Examples: "Cheeba", "Slovakia", "Whale".

Level 2: Virus decryptor contains one or several constant
instructions, the rest of it is changeable.

Level 3: decryptor contains unused functions - "junk" like NOP,
CLI, STI,etc

Level 4: decryptor uses interchangeable instructions and changes
their order (instructions mixing). Decryption algorithm remains unchanged.

Level 5: all the above mentioned techniques are used, decryption
algorithm is changeable, repeated encryption of virus code and even
partial encryption of the decryptor code is possible. "
----- CUT --------------------------------------------------------------

So appending to this source i got a level 3 or level 4, unless you fully
understand the source. I'm not saying it is perfect, is was written in 5
days.

Hope this helps you.

best regards,
Piotr Bania
