Malware refers to dangerous programs created to damage computers, steal data, or gain unauthorized access to a system. The term "malware" comes from "malicious software." Often, people think that malware only refers to viruses, but it is actually a broader term that encompasses several different types: Viruses – They attach themselves to a file and activate when that file is opened. Worms – They spread automatically through networks without the need for user intervention. Trojans – They appear as normal programs but are actually dangerous. Ransomware – It blocks data and demands money to restore it. Spyware – It spies on the user without their knowledge (e.g., tracking passwords).
