Malware

    Malware is short for malicious software. Malware is a different type of virus it hides its self as legitimate software applications and blocks most simple tasks on the computer. I have had malware before and it is very difficult to get rid of. Malware programs were at first written as pranks or experiments. Today their used to steal sensitive information. Anti malware programs have come out but the older the program is the easier the it is for the malware program to get past the anti malware system. Malware is often a virus like a Trojan horse. To help prevent malware from getting in to your computer you will need a anti-malware program that is up to date and you will have to keep it up to date. Sometimes when you get malware your only option will be to set your computer to factory default if you cannot get it removed by anti-malware or anti-virus programs.
