Best Answer

Malicious code is any code designed to have an effect that is unintended by the receiver.

Viruses, Spyware and Malware are three examples.

Virus: Any code designed with the intent to damage files or disrupt hardware on a computer and to pass itself to other computers with the same intent.

Spyware: Code designed to track your usage on the internet and to deliver that information to outside marketing computers and advertise services to you.

Malware: Code designed to steal personal information such as usernames, passwords, bank account info, credit card numbers and report that information to people who may use your financial information to steal from you.

Other types may be called trojans, backdoors, worms, spyware, adware, or bloatware.
