Malware

Malware, short for malicious software, encompasses a variety of harmful programs designed to infiltrate, damage, or disable computers, networks, and other digital devices. This category includes viruses, worms, spyware, and ransomware, each designed with specific harmful intents such as stealing data, corrupting files, or taking control of devices.

Imagine malware as a vandal who sneaks into your digital house under the guise of a friendly visitor. Once inside, they can cause havoc—lock you out of your own files, use your resources for their own purposes, or even watch your every move without your knowledge. Preventative measures and vigilance are crucial to keep these unwelcome intruders at bay.
