What are some common methods used to distribute malware?

### REPLY:
A common method to distribute malware is through drive-by downloads, where users are unknowingly infected with malware when visiting a compromised website. Another method is through the use of exploit kits, which take advantage of vulnerabilities in software to install malware on the user's system. Additionally, malware can be distributed through malicious email attachments, infected USB drives, or even through social engineering techniques such as fake software updates or deceptive ads.
