A virus is a type of malware, but not all malware is a virus. Malware is a term used to describe any malicious software designed to cause damage to a computer, server, or computer network. This includes viruses, as well as other types of malicious programs such as ransomware, spyware, adware, and worms. A virus, on the other hand, is a type of malware that is specifically designed to replicate itself and spread from one computer to another, usually without the user’s knowledge or consent.
