Morphine is not a virus or malware in itself, it's a tool for PE binary en-
cryption, self-decrypting on execution. It actually places the whole 
source image into the .data section of a newly produced file. 
Basically, this should hinder your virus scanner from recognizing what this 
binary really is, since it only matches on the pattern for the Morphine engine
itself.
