What are some common methods used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
One common method to distribute malware is through exploit kits. These kits contain prepackaged exploits that target specific vulnerabilities in popular software. When a user visits a compromised website, the exploit kit automatically scans for vulnerable software on the user's system and delivers the appropriate exploit to install malware. This method is highly effective in infecting a large number of users quickly, making it a popular choice among cybercriminals.
