@ -49,6 +49,8 @@ Microsoft classifies most malicious software into one of the following categorie
* **Backdoor:** A type of malware that gives malicious hackers remote access to and control of your device.
* **Command and Control:** A type of malware that infects your device and establishes communication with the hackers’ command-and-control server to receive instructions. Once communication is established, hackers can send commands that can steal data, shut down and reboot the device, and disrupt web services.
* **Downloader:** A type of malware that downloads other malware onto your device. It must connect to the internet to download files.
* **Dropper:** A type of malware that installs other malware files onto your device. Unlike a downloader, a dropper doesn't have to connect to the internet to drop malicious files. The dropped files are typically embedded in the dropper itself.
