Malware is one of the most prolific issues that we have in the world today. It is a worldwide issue, and it affects all industries and institutions equally.
In this section, we will talk about the different types of malware and how they affect society as a whole. We will also try to understand why malware is so pervasive in today's world in order to help combat it effectively.
We are going to cover topics such as what malware is, how it spreads, and what some common types are. In addition, we will talk about ways to protect against them such as antivirus software or cyber protection services.
Malicious software is a program that installs on your computer and either damages it or steals data. It does this in a number of different ways, which can be classified into six basic types.
There are two major categories of malicious programs: those that infect other computer systems and those that infect other files. These categories can be separated into six types of malware: spyware, adware, ransomware, keyloggers, worms, and trojan horses.
1) Spyware is a type of malware that captures sensitive information from the user's device without the user knowing about it (e.g., browser history).
2) Adware is a type of malware that causes advertisements to pop up on the user’s screen (e.g., pop-ups).
3) Ransomware, To get rid of malicious software, one has to follow a few steps in order to remove it.
The first step is to make sure the Mac is not infected and that it has been backed up. The second step is to scan the Mac for malware with an antivirus app. If the computer is still infected, then a third step needs to be taken which includes deleting all the malware manually.
The best defense against malicious software is prevention rather than removal. Most antivirus companies recommend using an antivirus app as well as installing updates from Apple in order to keep your computer protected at all times.
4) Computer viruses are malware that have the ability to replicate and spread from one computer to another. The most common way of infection is through email attachments or malicious links.
There are six types of viruses: boot sector, file infector, macro virus, keystroke logger, network worm, and trojan horse.
