Salzburg, March 8th, 2012 Dear Jack Hotchkiss, Do you know the difference between
malware and viruses?
 | The technical terms "malware" and "virus" both still cause much confusion within the Internet user community. What does anti-virus software protect against, and what about anti-malware software? Which software is more effective and offers a greater variety of functions? These questions and many more will be answered in the latest article of our knowledgebase. |
The difference between viruses and malware is actually quite simple: "malware" is short for "malicious software". That being said, every virus is a kind of malware, and so are Trojans or worms. What the history behind these naming conventions is, what types of malware there are as well as more information on the historical development are what you will find in Emsisoft's knowledgebase.
