About Malware
GoConqr OriginalWhat this unit covers
This page sits in the Threats and Attacks strand of Cybersecurity. Its resources look at what malware is, how the main types differ and how antivirus tools detect them. Flashcard sets such as Computer Security: Types of Malware run through adware, spyware, viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits, backdoors, keyloggers, browser hijacking and ransomware, with tips for avoiding some of them.
Where to start
Begin with a short overview. The Malware Quiz asks what malware is short for and what a Trojan horse virus is, so it suits a first look. The flashcard set Malware and its types then fills in the vocabulary, from worms and spyware to phishing, adware and rootkits.
- Read or revise a mind map on types of malware.
- Go through a flashcard set to fix the terms.
- Take a quiz and note what you missed.
Using quizzes and maps together
Mind maps are good for seeing how the types relate. The mind map Virus_1, for example, lists the problems Trojans cause, such as disabling antivirus software, destroying firewalls and stealing personal details. After a map, try the quiz Ch 2 - Malware & Social Engineering, which tests ideas such as polymorphic viruses. Go back to the map for anything you got wrong.
Going further
For antivirus detail, try the quizzes AntiVirus and Antivirus III, which cover scan techniques, databases and how archives are scanned. Learners preparing for CEH can look at the Total Tester CEH Practice 3 quizzes on Trojans and other attacks. The set also includes a quiz on the 1999 util-linux Trojan horse. School students will find material suited to GCSE Computer Science, and there are notes such as 1.1 Malware for a quick read.
Make it your own
Choose a resource, work through it, then build your own mind map or flashcards on the types you find hardest.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Try the Malware Quiz first. It asks basic questions, such as what malware is short for and what a Trojan horse virus is. If you want to read before testing yourself, the flashcard set Malware and its types introduces worms, spyware, adware and rootkits.
What do the mind maps on this page cover?
There are over 70 mind maps. Many are about types of malware, including viruses, worms, rootkits and Trojans. Others look at malware detection, antivirus history, botnets and wider system security, so you can compare how different contributors organise the topic.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you create your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Which exams do these resources relate to?
The listed resources mention GCSE Computer Science and CEH. The Total Tester CEH Practice 3 quizzes on Trojans and other attacks are aimed at CEH candidates, while other quizzes and maps cover the basics that school and university students need.
Is there anything on antivirus software?
Yes. The quizzes AntiVirus and Antivirus III cover scan techniques, databases used in scanning and how archives are unpacked and scanned. There is also a mind map on antivirus history, plus one on malware detection.
What if I cannot find what I need?
Look through the other formats on the page, since a topic may appear as a mind map or flashcards rather than a quiz. You can also make your own resource on the missing topic and use it for revision.
