Malware Analysis

Seriously interesting topic. Have you ever heard about this before? Well, before I continue it, let me elaborate a little bit more about malware.

Malware stand for malicious software. It means every software that has malicious intention considered as a malicious. Maybe you will ask, what kind of malicious?

Malicious mean they will do something evil to you. As example, steal password from you, read your data and maybe sell it to another person or make you pc became slower by installed it with various software without your approval.

Malicious mean they will do something evil to you.- this sounds a bit excessive to me- I wouldn't say 'evil'
