How IT Systems affected by malware

 For many computer virus writers and cybercriminals, the objective is to distribute their virus, worm or Trojan virus to as many computers or mobile phones as possible – so that they can maximise malware penetration. There are three main ways in which this can be achieved:

• A combination of both of these methods

In addition, the malware creator will often take steps to prevent the infection being detected by antivirus programs.
