(1) Malware and viruses are programs that can attack digital devices such as computers, tablets, phones and others. Virus is a small program created to harm, or make trouble; by gaining access to your device device and infecting, you can copy your personal data or slow your device down. A virus works by attaching itself to other files. (2) By combining the words “malicious” (meaning “damaging”) and “software” we get the word “malware”. Viruses are one type of malware. Malware is made to stop your device from running property and sometimes to steal information. Your device can be infected very quickly by malware. It could crash, slow down or turn back on again. Your internet connection may also down as the virus or worm searches for other devices to infect, infect, or sends your information back to person or people who created it. (3) Virus is a type of malware that travels through normal programs. Once your device has a virus it my pass easily and quickly to other files. A virus might just slow down your device or it might be so bad that you lose your applications and documents! (4) Virus can travel from device to device, but is different from virus as they don’t need to attach themselves to other programs. Worms can copy themselves hundreds of times, so they can very quickly harm your device and other devices. A worm with copy itself onto your account and then send a copy to all of your email contacts.
