Malware, short for malicious software, is
specifically designed to disrupt, damage, or gain unauthorized access to a computer system and technology environment. This could mean any software that was made with the intent to compromise information, threaten, or exploit programmable devices, networks, or services, and this could be personal or business systems. Unfortunately, this could mean taking down an entire network, keeping that network from working conditions, and keeping your business at a standstill.
