What are some common types of malware?
Common types of malware include viruses, worms, Trojans, ransomware, spyware, adware, and rootkits.
Some advanced types of malware include keyloggers, which record user keystrokes and steal sensitive information like passwords and credit card details. Another type is a botnet, which turns infected computers into "zombies" that can be controlled remotely by a hacker. Additionally, there are polymorphic malware that can change their code to avoid detection, as well as fileless malware that resides in memory and leaves no trace on the hard drive.
