What is the most common type of malware?

Worm
Virus
Adware
Spyware

The correct answer is: Virus

Viruses are the most common type of malware as they are able to spread and infect multiple devices through various means such as email attachments, infected software downloads, and compromised websites. Worms, while also a type of malware, require less user interaction to spread and are considered less common. Adware and spyware, while still dangerous to personal information and online security, are not as widely distributed as viruses.
