Chapter 1 Adware / Spyware / Malware

Malware

First I will begin to tell you that most probably you will find Malware on Windows operating systems because most operating systems out there in a production environment are indeed some Windows based operating systems. When you think a hacker point of view, there is no sense to create malware for operating systems that only take 30% of the worlds operating systems. Instead, the ones that are most common should be infected.

There are many different types of Malware out there, so I will begin to explain some of them, however first let me list the most common types for your reference.

Adware

Worms

Viruses

Spyware

Trojan Horse

Botnet

Rootkit

Backdoor

Logic bomb

As you see there are so many different types of Malware that are often difficult to identify what type of Malware you might get infected.

The reality is that some of the Malware might be working together and then it would be even harder to remove them from your computer.

An example would be that you get infected with a Trojan Horse. However, while you would get busy to remove it, in the meanwhile, there would be an additional Backdoor that would get installed on another machine automatically.

What happens in such situation is that you might believe that you have removed every malicious software from your PC, however in the meanwhile, another software would install itself that would re-infect your PC once again. Sometimes they might be working together, and once you would delete a certain malicious file, it would trigger another file to re-infect your PC.

You could potentially get infected by simply browsing the web, and clicking on something that shouldnt, these might be an advert of some sort, but it can also come from a genuine website. Another form might be that you have received an e-mail and sometimes by opening the email without even clicking on anything can cause an installation of malware. Some of the e-mails would ask you to follow individual links to provide your opinion on a certain product or website, these all can trigger a malware that is very malicious.

From personal experience, I had once a malware that was an Adware, and pretty much any website I have opened, I kept on getting pop advertisements. Anytime I have deleted all the software that wasnt from a genuine source, I have realized that after a while they all re-appeared with the same date of installation, even I didnt even touch my computer.

Malware exists for the purpose of financial gain, and some of the types are written for the only purpose of stealing credit card details, usernames, and Passwords.

Advertising windows can also make money for hackers in the way of being an affiliate for a particular product, and they would get a percentage of you, or anyone would buy those simply from does who would use those links that are kept on popping up on your screen.

Some of these advertising pop-ups might be visible already on your screen even right after you would open a web browser, and that would be an adamant indication that you have some malware on your computer.

Malware would use many methods. However the most common are to look for known vulnerabilities of an older version of operating system or the previous version of the application.
