Viruses and malware are an ever-present danger in today's complex computing environment. There are many different types of malicious software, which can cause damage ranging from the trivial to the catastrophic. The threat is constantly evolving, with new viruses being identified on a daily basis.

The source of the threat is also changing. Previously, creators of malware were often misguided enthusiasts keen to prove how clever they were.
