Malware threats Computers

 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:

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