Viruses have been used to describe the nasties that infect your computer files and may or may not destroy data. Malware is stuff like programs that turn your computer into a zombie waiting for a hacker to issue it commands to auto-post spam to forums or email out spam. Essentially, these are all viruses that do different things. The zombie computers are killing the Internet. Saabnet.com received over 35,000 zombie attacks over the July 4th weekend of which about 3 got through... The era of open forums could come to a close because of it.
