Computer viruses have been considered as the biggest problem in the computer world that's why it is very important to be familiar of all types of malicious software. Many known viruses come in form of Trojan-horse and adware including spyware. Some viruses are considered to be little more than a nuisance but many can be extremely dangerous with the effects of complex identity theft, password stealing and fraud. Many attacks can be theft of personal information and address books.

This varies from non-confidential to the extremely confidential. Malware may simply take a listing of your account details or recent website visits by using marketing spy’s. Malware may also harvest your email address book. It’s very worst; malware will steal your banking PIN, your eBay account, and your PayPal account details (aka "keystroke logging" identity theft).
