Malware is malicious software, meaning it is software with the only intention is to cause some kind of harm or damage. Malware is software that will get into your system or your computer and maybe set off a series of things like Trojan horses, worms, viruses, something that is either going to be destructive or mischievous, but malware exists only to be malicious and for no other reason.
