It comes disguised as some helpful software, but in reality inside the software is something deviously designed to wreak havoc on all you’ve created.

Another kind of software that has an ulterior motivation is adware. Adware is software that hides in your computer, and looks for information to use in tangent with an advertisement. The problem with these is that they can make your system terribly sluggish, as they hog as many resources as they possibly can.

Some software is designed for pure destruction. These are sometimes called computer virus’ as they move from computer to computer just like a biological virus moves from person to person. These can cause an incredible amount of damage, from wiping clean your email address book to erasing your entire hard drive.

Recently there has been a new kind of virus, or enemy. These come to your computer, and pretend to find lots of evil software hiding in your system.
