Types of Malware
Short for Malicious Software, malware is any code that can be used to steal data, bypass access controls, or cause harm to, or compromise a system. Below are a few common types of malware:

Spyware – This malware is design to track and spy on the user. Spyware often includes activity trackers, keystroke collection, and data capture. In an attempt to overcome security measures, spyware often modifies security settings. Spyware often bundles itself with legitimate software or with Trojan horses.

Adware – Advertising-supported software is designed to automatically deliver advertisements. Adware is often installed with some versions of software. Some adware is designed to only deliver advertisements but it is also common for adware to come with spyware.

Bot – From the word robot, a bot is a malware designed to automatically perform an action, usually online. While most bots are harmless, one increasing use of malicious bots is botnets. Several computers are infected with bots that are programmed to quietly wait for commands provided by the attacker.

Ransomware – This malware is designed to hold a computer system or the data it contains captive until payment is made. Ransomware usually works by encrypting data in the computer with a key unknown to the user. Some other versions of ransomware can take advantage of specific system vulnerabilities to lock down the system. Ransomware is spread by a downloaded file or some software vulnerability.
