In anti-virus terms, an oligomorphic virus is one that can change its encryptor but not the code base that's being encrypted. This is unlike a "polymorphic" virus that can change both the encryptor and the code base being encrypted or a "metamorphic" virus that can not only change the encryptor and the code base but the payload being delivered too.
