Happy Halloween from MMPC

One of my pet peeves working in computer security has always been the use of emotive language. I have always felt that using highly emotive terms to discuss malware greatly adds to the already-considerable FUD (fear, uncertainty and doubt) that surrounds a lot of malware information. The FUD, in turn, leads users to think that this is a problem that is too big for them – too daunting, too scary – when that simply isn’t true.

Malware are computer programs just like other computer programs; what makes them different is that they have been created with the intent to benefit their author to the detriment of an affected user.
