1. A virus is the most common type of malware which can execute itself and spread by infecting other programs or files.

2. Adware is used to track a user’s browser and download history with the intent to display pop-up or banner advertisements that lure the user into making a purchase. For example, an advertiser might use cookies to track the web pages a user visits to better target advertising.

3. A rootkit is created  to obtain administrator-level access to the victim’s system. Once installed, the program gives threat actors root or privileged access to the system.

4. Spyware is made to collect information and data on the device user and observe their activity without their knowledge.

5. Ransomware is designed to infect a user’s system and encrypt the data. Cybercriminals then demand a ransom payment from the victim in exchange for decrypting the system’s data.

6. A Trojan horse is designed to appear as a legitimate program in order to gain access to a system. Once activated following installation, Trojans can execute their malicious functions.

7. A backdoor virus or remote access Trojan (RAT) secretly creates a backdoor into an infected system that allows threat actors to remotely access it without alerting the user or the system’s security programs.

8. A worm can self-replicate without a host program and typically spreads without any human interaction or directives from the malware authors.

9. Keyloggers also called system monitors, are used to see nearly everything a user does on their computer. This includes emails, opened web-pages, programs and keystrokes.
