This book provides a description on malicious software or malware that is designed to disrupt PC operation. It includes information on malware for profit such as privacy-invasive software, adware, software, web threats, and more. Also included in this book are details on PC protection such as antivirus software, defensive computing, firewall, intrusion detection system, data loss prevention software, and other effective countermeasures. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge.
