Malicious code includes viruses, worms, Trojan horses, and spyware. The code provides the ability for a malicious user to read from and write to files and folders on a computer's hard drive. They also have the ability to run and attach programs, which provides a high risk potential for the distribution of malicious mobile code. Malicious code can be transported by electronic mail, mail attachments, web accesses, and removable media. This control pertains to anti-virus products which are out of scope.
