Malware, short for malicious software, refers to any software specifically designed to harm or exploit computer systems, networks, or users. It encompasses a broad category of malicious programs that can include viruses, worms, trojan horses, ransomware, spyware, and more.

How can we detect malware?

  • Antivirus Software: Utilize reputable antivirus or anti-malware software that employs signature-based detection, behavior analysis, and heuristics to identify and remove malicious code;
  • Behavioral Analysis: Monitor system behavior for unusual or malicious activities, such as unauthorized access, file modifications, or network communication;
  • Endpoint Protection: Implement endpoint protection solutions that detect and block malware at the device level, preventing infections before they occur.

You may know about viruses and trojans - all these threats are types of malware.
Virus - malicious code that attaches itself to clean files and spreads when the infected file is executed.
Trojan - a type of malicious software that disguises itself as legitimate or beneficial software allowing unauthorized access.
