Script type languages are coming in source naturally (Javascript, VB script,
Autoit mainly) -- so the creator obfuscating it usually. We hardly can see
any binary compiled malware in source form -- usually only if the bad guys
are making some conceptional work and if they "release" the source on some
underground sites. But nowadays everyone wants to make some money by
stealing passwords or credit card information or by installing some adware
on your computer so they have "commercial malware" which's sources are never
getting released for obvious reason. For those we have to deal with the
binary obfuscation they usually use like polymorphic code generators or
malware packers but that's another story.
