What is malware?
Malware is a program developed to harm a computer system without the user’s consent. Several techniques are used by hackers to infect a PC, such as e-mails (otherwise known as phishing) or downloading a file for example. Malware includes several categories: viruses, worms, Trojans, maldocs or other threats such as Adware that will pop up unwanted pop-ups on your web page.
Malwarebytes offers you to get rid of all these malicious computer programs to protect your computer and secure your browsing.
