### REPLY:
Some common techniques used to distribute malware include phishing emails, where attackers send fake emails that appear to be from legitimate sources to trick users into clicking on malicious links or downloading infected attachments. Another method is drive-by downloads, where malware is automatically downloaded onto a user's computer when they visit a compromised website. Malware can also be distributed through malicious ads, social engineering techniques, or by exploiting vulnerabilities in software or operating systems.
