Malware is any type of malicious computer software, such as viruses, spyware, ransomware, and Trojans, that can damage a computer system, steal data, or gain access to private information. Malware can be spread through email attachments, online downloads, and social media links, among other sources. It can be used to infect your computer, delete files, and/or encrypt your data (ransomware), track user activity and record personal information, and even turn your computer into a “zombie” to be controlled remotely by the hacker. In short, malware can do a lot of damage to your computer and your data.
