Computer Virus : It is a computer program that can copy itself and infect a computer without
Worm: Is a self-replicating computer program which uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computers on the network)
and it may do so without any user intervention.
Trojan Horses : Trojan horses are not self-replicating which distinguishes them from viruses and worms. Additionally, they require interaction with a hacker to fulfil their purpose.
The hacker need not be the individual responsible for distributing the Trojan horse. It is possible for hackers to scan computers on a network using a port scanner in the hope of finding one with a Trojan horse installed.
Rootkit: A software system that consists of a program or combination of several programs designed to hide or obscure the fact that a system has been compromised. An attacker may use a
rootkit to replace vital system executables, which may then be used to hide processes and files the attacker has installed, along with the presence of the rootkit.
Spyware : It is installed surreptitiously on personal computers to collect information about users, their computer or browsing habits without their informed consent It also suggests software that secretly monitors the user's behavior, by simple monitoring.
It can collect various types of personal information, such as Internet surfing habits and sites that have been visited, but can also interfere with user control of the computer in other ways, such as installing additional software and redirecting Web browser activity.
Adware : Advertising-supported software is any software package which automatically plays, displays, or downloads advertisements to a computer after the software is installed on it or while the application is being used.
