Malware

Malwares are programs that can attack your digital devices.

There are different types of malwares, the most known malwares are, viruses and spyware, also there are worms and trojan horses.

Malware is a combination of malicious and software.

Malware isn’t the same as viruses, a virus is a type of malware that spreads through normal programs. Viruses spread easily and fast. Viruses can just slow down jour device or maybe even steal all the documents.

Now I’m going to explain the different types of most common malwares. As I just have explained viruses I’m going to start with worms

Worms

They can spread form one device to another.
Worms can copy themselves hundreds of times, so they can very quickly harm your device and other devices. A worm can copy itself onto your email account and then send thing to your contacts.

Spyware

Spyware is software that installs itself onto devices and then steals personal information about the user, like passwords, email addresses and other important information. It often does it just by keeping a record of everything the user types. They can also install in your webcam.

Trojan Horse

A trojan horse pretends being a safe program but instead is not and it will try to attack your device.
