A malware is a program that tells your computer to do something you dont want it to do. A virus or any other malware can be very hard to detect or not very hard to detect. No matter what the circumstances all malware make your computer run less efficient in one way or another. A virus is malware that gets copied when ever you do something on your computer.
A virus is not a bug, because a bug is what happens when someone makes an error in writing a program, a virus is a program purposely made to wreck your computer. Computers can be protected from viruses by using some form of anti-virus such as AVG, Avast, or another antivirus program.
Another form of protection from malware is keeping your computer up to date.
1. Trojan (Horse) – A trojan is a program that looks normal until you run it, then you may start to notice changes in how your computer operates.
2. Worms – A worm is a type of malware that spreads from your computer to others on the same network.
3. Virus – A virus is a type of malware that spreads whenever you tell your computer to do something.
4. Fake AV – Fake antivirus disguises itself as an antivirus program until you download it on to your computer.
5. Rogue Proxies – A rogue proxy is what occurs when someone hacks your dns server and they may be able to access all of your credit card numbers and other banking information.
