A virus is the most serious type of infection. This can cause your computer to crash, files to get deleted, being locked out of your computer, and your computer being damaged.
Malware and Spyware is much more common than a full-blown virus, and is commonly picked up by downloading free software, pirating movies and tv shows, clicking on spammy websites or opening scam emails. Signs of a malware infection include sending out SPAM emails, a slow computer, aggressive advertising pop ups, and strange programs installed on your PC or Mac.

Ransomware is the most severe and dangerous type of computer virus. It essentially locks up all your files and documents on your computer and demands a ransom payment, usually in bitcoin.

Always make sure you are running backups, and always be careful opening emails and email attachments.
