What is Virus, Malware, & Trojan???

What is a Virus?
A computer virus is a computer software program – that has the unfortunate ability to replicate. Like natural viruses, PC computer system viruses can move fast and are extremely difficult to destroy. They can grab a hold of any type of computer file and are move as fast as the files that are duplicated and transferred from individual computer to individual computer.

What is Malware?
Malware – also know as malicious – refers to any malicious program or unexpected malware program or computer code file such as Trojans, pest, and droppers. Not every malware or malicious software programs or codes are pest. Pest, are perhaps the majority of all known malware or malicious code to date including trojans and worms. The other major types of malicious code are droppers, Trojans, and kits.

What is a Trojan?
A Trojan is malware or malicious code that performs unpredicted or unauthorized, often malicious, procedures. The most important distinction between a pest and a Trojan is the lack of ability to duplicate. Trojans cause harm, unpredicted computer behavior, but do not duplicate. If it replenished, then it would be called as a pest.
