Types of Malware

Malware is a kind of application or program that is designed by hackers to attack the security system of any computer. These kinds of software secretly enter in the computer without the knowledge of vendor, and destroy everything. Use advance upgraded antivirus to protect your system from malware attacks. 

Some malware types are given below:

1.    Virus: A virus is a program that attempts to damage a computer system and replicate itself to other computer system. For example stoned, Michelangelo, Melissa, I love you etc.
2.    Worms: A worm is a self replicating program that can be designed to do any number of things, such as delete files or send documents via e-mail. A worm can negatively impact network traffic just in the process of replicating itself. For example: code red, daprosy worm etc.
3.    Trojan horse programs: A Trojan program is a combination of two or more executable into one file and wrap or bind with some things to cover itself. In this situation we can say all shining things are not gold so be careful while using internet and download anything. For example: sinowal Trojan.
