### REPLY:
A malware infection on a computer can lead to severe consequences such as stealing sensitive personal information including credit card details, login credentials, and social security numbers. This information can be used for identity theft, financial fraud, or sold on the dark web. Additionally, malware can give hackers remote access to the infected system, allowing them to monitor and control the computer, potentially leading to complete loss of privacy and control.
