What malware types can scan the Internet for victims?

Well, I'm not really sure what you're asking, but I'll try to help!

As you probably know, there are many different kinds of malware out there; viruses, rootkits, botkits, trojans, spyware, adware, bloatware, etc.

To avoid infection:

1. Ensure you have an active antivirus and firewall running

2. Avoid opening suspicious files, email attachments, URLs (website links, especially true if it's from someone you don't know), and downloading the above mentioned items

3. If you are really paranoid about online privacy(like me), I recommend using Chrome or Firefox if you don't already, installing Albine's extension "Do Not Track Plus" (which stops tracking cookies from collecting your browsing history), and for good measure, I recently installed Keyscrambler and moved the system tray icon so that I could see it's working (it may install an addon, but I disabled that)
