The different types of malicious code that travel the internet today are becoming more and more dangerous. Furthermore, these tend to improve and update over time to become more effective and harmful to users and their computers. Now we are going to see which have been the most widespread based on information from the security firm Malwarebytes.
Based on the fact that we use a greater amount of sensitive and private data both locally and online, protection must be greater. And it is that the attackers are on the prowl to be able to get hold of them for different purposes. They can sell them to third parties, use them maliciously, ask us for a ransom, etc. Hence precisely the different types of malware that we can run into right now.
To all this we can add that almost daily new types of these software elements are discovered that can attack us. This is one of the main reasons why developers of security solutions release so many updates. And we are not talking about new versions of the antivirus as such, but rather they update its internal database with these new discoveries. Thus, our security software is able to defend ourselves and prevent the arrival of these malicious news.
There are many companies specialized in everything related to security that offer us their own products. One of the most popular for years is the aforementioned Malwarebytes. In fact, this company periodically lets us know the most widespread types of malware detected in a certain period of time. This is precisely what we want to talk about in the next few lines.

Due to all this that we are telling you, as you can imagine the amount of viruses and other types of malware that surround us is enormous. However, perhaps among the most dangerous are those put into circulation more recently. To all this, we can add that there are campaigns by attackers that are more successful than others. If you want to know the malicious codes that have been detected the most by the security firm mentioned in this past month of April, we leave you the list:

Obviously, a good part of the current security solutions, including those of this company, are capable of protecting us against all of this. Of course, it is essential that we keep our antivirus updated to the most recent version sent. Otherwise to see and despite maintaining security software on the PC, if it is not updated it is of little use.
