	Viruses - Computer viruses are software programs deliberately designed to interfere with computer operation, record, corrupt, or delete data, or spread themselves to other computers and throughout the Internet, often slowing things down and causing other problems in the process. Basic viruses typically require unwary computer users to inadvertently share or send them.
	Spyware - Spyware is software installed on your computer without your consent to monitor or control your computer use.
	Worms - Worm viruses that are more sophisticated and can replicate and send themselves automatically to other computers by controlling other software programs, such as an e-mail sharing application.
	Trojans - Programs that, when installed on your computer, enable unauthorized people to access it and sometimes to send spam from it.
	Maleware (malicious software) - Includes viruses and spyware to steal personal information, send spam, and commit fraud. Criminals create appealing websites, desirable downloads, and compelling stories to lure you to links that will download malware ? especially on computers that don't use adequate security software.
