In addition to the threats listed, malware can also be used to:

  • Monitor your online activity: Malware can be used to track your browsing history, search terms, and other online activity. This information can then be used to target you with advertising or to steal your personal information.
  • Take control of your computer: Malware can be used to give an attacker full control of your computer. This means that they could access your files, install other malware, or even use your computer to launch attacks on other systems.
  • Spread to other computers: Malware can spread from one computer to another through a variety of ways, such as email attachments, infected websites, and USB drives. This means that if your computer is infected with malware, it could infect other computers on your network or even computers that you connect to.

The threats associated with malware are constantly evolving, so it is important to stay up-to-date on the latest security threats and to take steps to protect yourself.
