Malware is a term you hear a lot in the security field, and I am not always sure if everyone understands what the term means. Malware is basically a generic term used to describe a variety of bad software that is meant to damage, annoy, or infiltrate a computer or network without the user’s consent or knowledge. Malware includes software such as viruses, worms, trojans, spyware, rootkits, adware, crimeware and any other type of malicious software.
