In this paper, we tackle the problem of compression and decompression of PE-files (portable executable file format in MS Windows). We analyze decompression methods used in the PE-file unpackers. Based on that, we design a new decompression method, which however uses standard decompression algorithms. Finally, we compare various standard decompression methods to our method and analyze and comment the results that we were able to achieve.
