    I have a general, but not trivial, question. Computers can be "attacked" by all sorts of things these days. There are trojans, viruses, and worms. There is phishing. There are tracking cookies. There are things like adware, spyware, etc. What I want to ask is: if you want to refer to all these threats under one heading is there a single term that covers all of them?

    :confused

    Thanks!
