### REPLY:
There are several common methods used to distribute malware. One method is through phishing emails, where attackers send emails pretending to be from legitimate organizations, enticing recipients to click on malicious links or download infected attachments. Another method is through drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's computer when they visit an infected website. Malware can also be distributed through malicious ads, infected software downloads, or social engineering techniques.
