What you are really asking are what are the other types of malware that affect computer today. However, first you must understand what malware is and what it does. Malware is any malicious code that either damages your computer and its files or does any action without your permission (such as spyware). There are many types of malware such as viruses, spyware, trojans, rootkits and worms. Each have their own characteristics. Fortunately, all malware is spread the same way. By either visiting a malicious website, opening strange emails and clicking on links, opening malicious files (such as attachments in spam mail) or by connecting any storage device that has been infected with malware (such as someone's thumb drive).

Fortunately if you stay away from adult websites, fishy emails and their attachments and run anti-malware software you usually will be fine. My advice keep your anti-malware software up to date and be aware of any strange behavior from your computer. Being redirected to fake websites or seeing ads/pop ups is a system of possible infection.

If you believe you may be infected make sure youre anti-malware software is up to date and then run a full scan. Make sure the scan is a deep scan. It is important to note if the scan finishes and nothing is found this does not mean you are not infected. No, security solution is perfect and there are million of different malware that exist in the world. If you have any questions feel free to message me.
