Answers :
1. Malicious Software is software that is included or inserted in a system for harmful purposes
or a malware is a set of instructions that run on your computer and make your system do
something that an attacker wants it to do.

2. Malicious Software has many kinds, such as:

- Virus
Viruses are types of malware that have the ability to manipulate data, infect, change and
damage a program. In addition, viruses can also multiply by inserting a program (copy)
of themselves and then become part of other programs on the computer.

- Worm
Worm is a program that has the ability to copy itself independently and spread quickly
on a computer network through open security ports (holes).

- Trojan Horse
Trojan hors or trojans is a computer program that has undetectable capabilities and
seems good to use but is actually destructive. Trojans generally aim to obtain
information from the victim and then control it.

4. Worm is a program that has the ability to copy itself independently and spread quickly on a
computer network through open security ports (holes), while Trojan Horse is a computer
program that has undetectable capabilities and seems good to use but is actually destructive.
Trojans generally aim to obtain information from the victim and then control it.

5. To clean Virus, Malware, Worm, and Trojan Horse we can use (installed) antivirus and anti-
malware to protect our computers. Make sure you use an antivirus program that is always
updated to the latest version, so that all your computer files and programs are safe from
