Malware
Virus
Trojan Horse
Worm
Spyware
Keylogger
Rootkit
Ramsonware
Not to mention these other threats:
Spam
Phishing...
Good protection is therefore essential, especially if you make online payments with your bank card or if you download using peer-to-peer (P2P) programmes such as qBittorent, CouchPotato, etc.
