Virus & Malware

What is the difference between a virus and malware?

A virus is considered malware; therefore there really is no difference. The term 'malware' is used as a way describe any malicious software including: adware, spyware, worms, trojans, and viruses.

Malware is becoming a more common term because it covers a wide variety of threats to computers (such as those mentioned above), rather than just viruses.
