Meaning and Effects of Malware



Before we start I'd like to note that these articles will only go over the non technical side for people who have little to no current computer knowledge.

What is computer Malware?

Malware is an intrusive software used to attack or disrupt a computers operation, sometimes to display ad's or do other operations not authorized by the user. Malware can not only slow down a computer but can also pose huge security issues.
