Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Botnets, pharming, and Trojan horse are all types of computer malware. Botnets are networks of infected computers that can be controlled remotely to perform malicious tasks. Pharming redirects users from legitimate websites to fraudulent ones to steal personal information. Trojan horse is a type of malware that disguises itself as legitimate software but can take control of the user's computer. Web cookies and bookmarks are not considered malware; cookies are used to store user data for web browsing, and bookmarks are simply shortcuts to web pages.
