Malware, viruses, and ransomware are programs designed to harm your computer or steal your data. They work differently and cause different kinds of damage—a virus might slow down your system, while ransomware locks your files until you pay money. Understanding what each one actually does helps you recognize warning signs and make decisions about which protections matter most for how you use your devices.

These articles explain how these threats spread, what happens when your computer gets infected, and what you might notice if something goes wrong. You'll learn the real difference between types of malware, why some are harder to remove than others, and what recovery looks like if you're hit by one.
