Malware detected by Autoreporter

Malware refers to malicious software. The concept includes computer worms, viruses, malware that downloads other types of malware, as well as spyware. Some of the malware detected by the National Cyber Security Centre Finland belongs to malware families, but malware can also be a part or a variant of other malware. The original malware may have changed often enough to have created completely new malware families of its own. Some criminal groups offer Malware-as-a-Service, and the infrastructure they offer runs several different types of malware.
