- 1virusesA computer virus is a software programme that is programmed to replicate itself and bind itself to files and programmes over and over again. Much like humans can become infected by bacteria and micro-organisms.
- 2trojanA Trojan software can appear to be just a harmless application, but then something sinister will run in the background.
- 3wormsA machine worm operates closely to a virus, but files are not inherently affected by it. Instead, it attempts to copy itself so many times that it runs out of resources and crashes the whole machine.
- 4adwareAdware is malware which can force unwanted pop-up advertisements to be viewed in your browser. More infections could result from clicking these.
- 5spywareSpyware remains shielded from view and is designed to spy on your phone, check for sensitive information, passwords, etc.
- 6scarewareScareware can cause a pop-up that says something like your machine has a virus to appear on your device. Please buy this programme to fix the issue, and a reference is given in the pop-up.
