What is Malware? |
|
Answer» A malicious software is a harmful computer program that hackers use to wreak destruction and gain access to sensitive information. Microsoft defines malware as any software that damages a single computer, server, or computer network. It refers to software rather than the manner in which it was developed. Because malware is employed for a particular purpose rather than a specific technology or tactic, it is distinguished by its functionality rather than its origin. All instances of malware are also instances of viruses, but not every instance of malware is an instance of a virus (because viruses are just one type of malware). |
