Invisible and Irremovable

Unlike the traditional malware and viruses this new category malware infects your pc and you may not even realize it. While older malware could be identified on the PC, newer forms of may not even have an interface, and they may not seriously impact your PC's performance. Although they may not lead to awful consequences, but they run in the background, seemingly invisible to you.
