Malware
Malicious Software

Malware is software that is designed to hurt your computer

This code's sole purpose is to infultrate, spread, and damage your computer files. It could be also be referred to as a virus or worm. Viruses and worms have become increasingly dangerous due to their ability to spread without any direct action by the user. Malware takes advantage of systems that lack the updates to patch security holes. Everyone should visit Microsoft Update and make sure their system is patched sufficiently.
