• Viruses
  You are likely familiar with computer viruses, as they are the most common type of malware. A virus usually spreads through infected websites, email attachments, or other shared files. When an infected program launches, this low-profile form of malware can override programs, self-replicate, and quickly spread unnoticed.
• Spyware
  This form of malware is specifically created to steal your personal information including social security numbers, credit card numbers and PINs, and other personal information. Spyware is designed to trick you into downloading it by either offering some incentive, discount, something free or a desirable functionality you may want at a deal too good to be true.
• Ransomware
  Think about all the personal information and files that are on your devices. Now, imagine someone holding your access to that information for ransom. Ransomware is just that – malware that holds your data for ransom, and it has caused billions of dollars’ worth of damage.
• Spam and Adware
  Spam and adware may seem harmless, but that is not always the case. Although they may appear to be advertising, spam emails and attachments can exploit and steal personal information.
