Malware can infect your computer through many methods. Some malware is unintentionally installed by clicking Next, Next, Next and not reading the datails of what you are installing. This occurs with many free programs. Some malware infects your PC when you download something free, ie a picture, video or screensaver. Along with the item you downloaded, came malware. And some malware infects you by Drive-By Infection. This happens when you land on a website that is waiting to infect you.
