Malware is any type of malicious software that disrupts or endangers your operation. Common forms of malware include viruses, Trojan horse, ransomware, spyware, and rootkits. They can be used to spy on keystrokes (to gain access to information) or hijack the entire system and hold it hostage. It can affect desktop computers, servers, printers, network devices and a plethora of mobile devices resulting in an array of problems, including minor operating annoyances to locked systems, or stolen data and erased files. Some forms of malware can sit silently within a system for weeks or months. Upon execution, it may self-replicate to many more connected computers and devices.
