Which of the following does not include in Malware ?
Answer: A
The one that is not malware is phishing.
Malware (malicious software) is a program written to damage a system or gain unauthorised access to it. Spyware secretly collects information about a user, a virus attaches itself to other files and spreads when they are run, and a worm copies itself across networks on its own. All three are kinds of malicious software.
Phishing is a social-engineering technique, not a program. It uses fraudulent e-mails or websites that pretend to come from a trusted source to trick people into revealing passwords or card details. A phishing message may carry malware, but phishing itself is a method of deception, so it is the odd one out.
