Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is malware?

ANSWER: Malicious or poorly written software.

A program might be considered malware for a number of reasons.

Destructive programs, undesirable programs, viruses, spyware, adware, poorly written software (such as programs which do not free up resources on exit), programs which are known to frequently clash with other common software, and software which can not be removed by normal means.

These are just a few examples of malware.
