What is badware?Badware is software that fundamentally disregards a user’s choice about how his or her computer or network connection will be used.
Some badware is specifically designed for criminal, political, and/or mischievous purposes. These purposes might include:
stealing bank account numbers, passwords, company secrets, or other confidential information
tricking the user into buying something that he or she doesn't need
sending junk email (spam), or sending premium text messages from a mobile device
attacking other computers
distributing more badware
This type of badware is often referred to as malware. It includes viruses, Trojans, rootkits, botnets, spyware, scareware, and more.
Some badware may not have malicious intentions, but still fails to put the user in control. Consider, for example, a browser toolbar that helps you shop online more effectively but does not mention that it will send a list of everything you buy online to the company that provides the toolbar. In this case, you are unable to make an informed decision about whether to install or use this software. Another example is when you install a piece of software, and that software installs additional software that you weren’t expecting. This can be especially troubling if the additional software does something you dislike or doesn’t uninstall when you remove the original software.
At times, the line between deliberately malicious software and unintentionally bad software can blur. Software creators and distributors can, and should, stay away from this blurry line by using clear messaging and thoughtful product design to keep users in control of their computers and networks.

What is a badware website?
A badware website is a website that helps distribute badware, either intentionally or because it has been compromised. Many normal, legitimate websites are infected and turned into badware websites without the knowledge of their owners.
How can badware websites harm my computer?
Some badware websites infect your computer with badware using drive-by downloads. Drive-by downloads occur when a website automatically (and often silently) installs software as soon as you visit the site; no clicking is necessary. Typically this kind of attack takes advantage of a vulnerability or “hole” in your web browser, a browser plug-in, or other software on your computer.
Social engineering attacks are also common ways for badware websites to distribute badware. These attacks take advantage of human nature by tricking people into installing badware. A popular trick shows a fake virus scan that indicates that your computer is infected and encourages you to download and/or purchase a tool to remove the infection. Another popular trick is offering to display a video that sounds interesting, but only after you install a plug-in or codec that is “required” to view the content.

什么是坏软件?
恶意软件是根本无视用户选择如何使用他或她的计算机或网络连接的软件。
一些恶意软件是专门为犯罪、政治和/或恶作剧目的而设计的。这些目的可包括:
窃取银行账号、密码、公司秘密或其他机密信息
欺骗用户购买他或她不需要的东西
发送垃圾邮件(垃圾邮件)或从移动设备发送高级文本消息
攻击其他计算机
分发更多的坏软件
这种类型的恶意软件通常被称为恶意软件。它包括病毒、木马、rootkit、僵尸网络、间谍软件、恐吓软件等等。
一些恶意软件可能没有恶意意图,但是仍然无法控制用户。例如,考虑一个浏览器工具栏,它可以帮助您更有效地在网上购物,但是没有提到它会将您在网上购买的所有商品的列表发送到提供工具栏的公司。在这种情况下,您无法对是否安装或使用此软件作出明智的决定。另一个例子是当你安装了一块软件,而那个软件安装了你没有想到的附加软件。如果附加的软件做了您不喜欢的事情,或者在删除原始软件时没有卸载,那么这可能会特别麻烦。
有时,故意恶意软件和无意恶意软件之间的界线会模糊。通过使用清晰的消息传递和周到的产品设计,软件创建者和发布者能够并且应该远离这种模糊的界线,以使用户能够控制他们的计算机和网络。

什么是恶意软件网站?
恶意软件网站是一个网站,帮助分发恶意软件,无论是故意的,或因为它已被破坏。许多正常的、合法的网站被感染了,并在其所有者不知情的情况下变成了恶意网站。
恶意网站怎么会伤害我的电脑?
一些恶意软件网站通过硬盘下载来感染你的电脑。当你访问网站时,网站会自动(并且通常是静默的)安装软件,不需要点击。通常,这种攻击利用了web浏览器、浏览器插件或计算机上的其他软件中的漏洞或“漏洞”。
社会工程攻击也是恶意软件网站发布恶意软件的常见方式。这些攻击利用了人类的本性,诱骗人们安装恶意软件。一个流行的技巧显示一个假病毒扫描,表明您的计算机被感染了,并鼓励您下载和/或购买一个工具来清除感染。另一个流行的技巧是提供显示听起来有趣的视频,但只有在安装了查看内容所需的插件或编解码器之后。
