It is rare that a PC which regularly does not have malware. Malware or a bit of intrusive software is present in some form of tracking on all the software you are using. Some of this cannot be put into malware category since we have already agreed to it when it was mentioned in terms and conditions. Basically, for the software to function smoothly we provide more input than we are aware of. However, most of this software is deemed harmless or you are given a choice whether or not u want to share particular information.

Most harmful intrusive software is the one where you do not have the choice of accepting or choosing not to offer information. Malware is a program or a worm which has not revealed itself and will reside on your computer unethically. It can enter your computer system through downloads and play havoc on the general functioning.

Here are some general and some highly critical possibilities of what malware can do:

1. Keypress logging is a basic in malware, there are several programs which do that but they do so to better functioning and do not steal your critical information like the passwords and login names.
2. Website monitoring and logging passwords where you will find your passwords are stolen and in easiest circumstances you have to simply reclaim password by secondary methods you have chosen. However, if you do not have a secondary method or login id or security question in place, consequences could be dangerous.
3. Slowing of your computer, since there is a malware program taking up RAM of your computer, other programs you are working will tend to gradually slow down causing several problems ranging from the computer heating up, not doing or completing tasks or hanging. This is an indicator of malware if you have not recently installed any software. You should instantly carry out a malware check.
4. Most dangerous of all is the identity theft, the malware is so potent that it has infiltrated into your system and has stolen your identify, leaving you with nothing, where you have to start proving about your identity. It is more difficult that you think.
5. Auto installation or permission seeking for unwanted installation programs, where pop-ups start showing or you find there are unwanted programs installed on your computer.

2. Scan Cloud Analysis is done when a file is found suspicious. During heuristic scan if any file is found suspicious it is send to Scan Cloud scanning where the file is sandboxed and scanned to check whether or not it is malware. So, heuristic scanning selects doubtful files and Scan Cloud actually studies the files.
