What with all of the Trojan horses, viruses, worms and other evil bits of programming whizzing about the Internet, seeking whom they may confound, I have come across the term "malware" as a collective noun to describe them all. The interesting thing about this noun is that it is defined by the (evil) intent of the maker. Is this word in sufficiently wide use to have earned a place in the lexicon or is it suspect, growing out of computerdom, of being a passing buzz word which will ebb into obscurity?
