Malware FYI
Malware or scumware, is malicious software designed to infiltrate a computer without the owner's informed consent. The expression is used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software or program code. "Computer virus" is sometimes used as a catch-all phrase to include all types of malware, including true viruses.
Because malware has so many different manifestations, it is considered malware based on the perceived intent of the creator rather than any particular features. Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, most rootkits, spyware, dishonest adware, crimeware and other malicious and unwanted software. In law, malware is sometimes known as a computer contaminant, for instance in the legal codes of several U. S. states.
