MALAWARE is a general name for all programs that are harmful; viruses, trojan, worms and all other similar programs.

A COMPUTER VIRUS is a program, a block of executable code, which attach itself to, overwrite or otherwise replace another program in order to reproduce itself without a knowledge of a PC user. Viruses can destroy files and disks. Even benign viruses cause damage by occupying disk space and main memory, by using up CPU processing time.

A TROJAN HORSE is a program that does something else that the user thought it would do. They are usually well disguised. The Trojan steals passwords and sends an E-mail to the hackers fake name and then the hacker has your account in his hands.

A WORM is a program which spreads usually over network connections. Unlike a virus which attach itself to a host program, worms always need a host program to spread.
