  • Trojans: They disguise themselves as legitimate software and tend to act discretely and create backdoors in your security to let other malware in.
  • Spyware: It hides in the background and takes notes of what one does online, including passwords, credit card numbers, surfing habits and more.
  • Worms: Worms infect entire networks of devices, either local or across the internet, by using network interfaces. It uses each consecutive infected machine to infect more.
  • Ransomware: Also called scareware, this kind of malware can lock down computer and threaten to erase everything - unless a ransom is paid to its owner.
  • Adware: automatically generating adverts on your screen, usually within a web browser (Clicking one website, more site is open).
