    Introduction to Malware
    Malware, short for malicious software, is any
    program or code that is created with the intent of
    causing harm to a computer system or network. It
    can take many forms, including viruses, worms,
    Trojans, ransomware, adware, and spyware.
    The goal of malware creators can vary from
    simply causing chaos and disruption to stealing
    sensitive information, extorting money, or using
    the infected system as part of a larger botnet for
    further attacks.
    Malware Partition
    Virus
    A virus is a type of malware that infects a
    computer by attaching itself to a legitimate
    program or file. When the user runs the infected
    program or opens the infected file, the virus
    activates and begins replicating itself, often
    spreading to other systems via email attachments
    or shared files.
    Some viruses are relatively benign, causing little
    more than annoyance, while others can be
    extremely destructive, deleting files, corrupting
    data, and even rendering the infected system
    unusable.
    Worm
    A worm is a self-replicating type of malware that
    spreads through a network without any user
    interaction. Unlike a virus, which requires a user
    to execute an infected program or file, a worm
    can spread autonomously by exploiting
    vulnerabilities in network protocols or
    applications.
    Worms can cause significant damage to networks
    by consuming bandwidth, overloading servers,
    and creating backdoors for other types of
    malware to enter.
    Trojan
    A Trojan, also known as a Trojan horse, is a type
    of malware that disguises itself as a legitimate
    program or file in order to trick users into
    downloading or executing it. Once installed, the
    Trojan can perform a variety of malicious actions,
    such as stealing personal information or installing
    additional malware.
    Trojans are often spread through phishing emails
    or social engineering tactics that convince users to
    download and install seemingly harmless
    software.
    Ransomware
    Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a
    user's files and demands payment in exchange for
    the decryption key. It can be delivered through a
    variety of methods, including email attachments,
    drive-by downloads, or exploit kits.
    Ransomware attacks can be devastating for
    individuals and organizations alike, often resulting
    in the loss of important data and financial losses
    due to the demanded ransom.
    Adware and Spyware
    Adware and spyware are types of malware that
    are designed to collect information about a user's
    browsing habits or display unwanted
    advertisements. Adware may track a user's search
    history and display targeted ads, while spyware
    can steal sensitive information like passwords and
    credit card numbers.
    Although adware and spyware are generally less
    harmful than other types of malware, they can
    still be a nuisance and compromise a user's
    privacy and security.
