Okay, let’s think of malware as a bad toy. Just like you would never play with a toy that hurts you, you don’t want your computer/server to play with malware either!
Malware is like a sneaky bad toy that can get into your computer/server without you even realizing it. Once it’s there, it can do mean things, like steal information, change your files, or make your computer act strange.
Just like you would throw away a bad toy so it can’t hurt you or your friends, you want to get rid of malware from your computer so it can’t do any harm. You can do this by using special tools to find and remove it, and by being careful about what you download and click on when you’re using your computer.
