How does malware infect a computer?

Asked by Hawaii_Jake (37345points) September 18th, 2013

My daughter’s PC has what I think is malware. I’ll be messing with it tomorrow and trying to clean it off.

She’s using Chrome, and when she opens a new tab, it opens to an advertisement. It’s often a different advertisement.

Is it possible to explain the most common modes of entry malware uses to infect a computer? or is it too complex?
