What is Malware?
Malware is computer code that is designed to damage or disrupt computer systems or to perpetrate other nefarious acts, such as harvesting passwords. The most common types of malware are viruses, worms and Trojan horses. A virus is a computer program that copies itself and inserts the copies into other programs or data files. Like viruses, worms replicate themselves; unlike viruses, they do not attach themselves to other programs or data files but exist independently. Unlike viruses and worms, Trojan horses do not replicate themselves. Trojan horses proliferate by masquerading as benign programs; users are tricked into downloading the program containing the Trojan horse.
