The correct option is A Malware
Software, such as viruses, worms and
Trojan horses, that has a malicious intent, is known as Malware.
Software is considered to be malware
based on the perceived intent of the creator rather than any particular
features. Malware includes computer viruses, worms, trojan horses, spyware,
dishonest adware, scareware, crimeware, most rootkits, and other malicious and
unwanted software or program.
Malware (a portmanteau for malicious
software) is any software intentionally designed to cause damage to a computer,
server or computer network. Malware does the damage after it is implanted or
introduced in some way into a target’s computer and can take the form of
executable code, scripts, active content, and other software. The code is
described as computer viruses, worms, Trojan horses, ransomware, spyware,
adware, and scareware, among other terms. Malware has a malicious intent,
acting against the interest of the computer user—and so does not include
software that causes unintentional harm due to some deficiency, which is
typically described as a software bug.
