AKA: Malware

Scumware is used to describe a category of undesirable software:

  • Adware
  • Snoopware
  • Spyware
  • Stealware
  • spamware
  • etc…

This type of software can arise when a default install or configuration allows for malicious code to be active. Many users remain un-aware of these types of exploits, much like a worm, trojan or backdoor.
