Malware, or malicious software, is the designation given to any program that aims at disrupting the normal operation of a computing system. Although the most well-known forms of malware are viruses, spyware, and adware, the harm that they intend to cause may range from stealing private information to deleting personal data, and everything in between, while another classic use of malware is to control the system in order to use it to launch botnets in a (D)DoS attack.
