Malware is the biggest threat to Cyber Security especially in th E-Commerce World, because Malware can steal your credentials / password and steal your money from Banks and Credit cards without your knowledge.
According to Wikipedia:-
Malware, short for malicious software, consists of programming (code, scripts, active content, and other software) designed to disrupt or deny operation, gather information that leads to loss of privacy or exploitation, gain unauthorized access to system resources, and other abusive behavior.
The expression is a general term used by computer professionals to mean a variety of forms of hostile, intrusive, or annoying software or program code.
Software is considered to be malware based on the perceived intent of the creator rather than any particular features.
Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware, dishonest adware, scareware, crimeware, most rootkits, and other malicious and unwanted software or program. In law, malware is sometimes known as a computer contaminant
Malware is planted on your computer through internet by cyber-criminals and it sends secret information from your computer to them. Once the malware is there on your computer, when you do an internet transaction using your credit card or bank account, all the informations like user-id, password, account number etc are sent to the cyber-criminal.
Lesson is: Do not use your computer through which you do internet transactions, for Chatting with unknown people or visiting dangerous un-secure sites.
