Various types of malware include:

• Computer Viruses: A computer program that can copy itself and spread from one computer to another in the form an executable file.
• Computer Worms: A self-replicating program which uses a network to send copies of itself to other computers, which can be done without any action from the user. Unlike a computer virus, the computer worm does not need to be attached to an existing program.
• Trojan Horses: Software that appears to perform a desirable function prior to installing or running the program, but damages or harms the system. In addition to installing Adware, Trojan horses can also be used by hackers to access to infected computer.
• Rootkits: Software that enables continued privileged access to a computer while actively hiding its presence from administrators by subverting standard operating system functionality or other applications. Detection is difficult because a rootkit may be able to subvert the software that is intended to find it. Removal can be complicated or practically impossible, especially in cases where the rootkit resides in the kernel; reinstallation of the operating system may be the only alternative.
• Spyware: Software that can be installed on computers and collects small pieces of information about users without their knowledge. The presence of spyware is typically hidden from the user, and can be difficult to detect. Typically, spyware is secretly installed on the user's personal computer.
