PART1. Using a web browser, perform some research on a newer malware variant that has been reported by a major malware containment vendor. Using a search engine, go to the vendor’s web site;this could be Symantec, McAfee, or any of their
competitors. Visit one malware prevention software vendor. Search for the newest malware variants and pick one. Note its name and try to understand how it works.

If so, are there any differences in how they are reported between two vendors? Write 300 words. Include references.
