Some common methods used to distribute malware include exploiting vulnerabilities in popular software applications, using exploit kits to inject malware into legitimate websites, and utilizing botnets to send out spam emails with malicious attachments. Additionally, social engineering techniques such as phishing emails, fake software updates, and enticing downloads can also be employed to trick users into downloading and executing malware on their systems. However, engaging in such activities is illegal and unethical.
