attachments that lead to downloading a host file that has a computer virus.
Fireless Malware:

computer system into assuming the changes are genuine. Fireless malware can slip past 
even if you have an antivirus program since it makes negligible modifications to files that 
are stored on your computer. Because of the sneakiness of these malware, they’re much 
more effective than other kinds of viruses.

decision which ads should be visible to you according to that data. The continued loss of 
your privacy is the biggest threat of adware. This data gets collected and employed to 
construct a profile about you. Then it’s sold to marketers for them to endorse their 
products to you without your approval.
Rootkits:
• Yet another scary malware, Rootkits provides malicious actor distant access and 
control of your computer with full capabilities. Rootkits are found in firmware, 
kernels and applications. Rootkits generally spread via phishing emails and 
malicious attachments as well malicious downloads. Above all, rootkits are capable of 
concealing other kinds of malware within them.
Keyloggers:
• This sort of software operates by screening the activities you do on your computer 
system. They’re generally employed to steal sensitive data such as your passwords 
and your banking or payment info.
Worms:
• Worms operate by targeting susceptible parts of your OS. They install themselves 
into your networks and get access via various points. The foremost use of worms is to 
steal sensitive data from your computer, and also to attempt ransomware attacks.
