i'm a novice....what's malware

The term "malware" is short for "malicious software." It comes in two
general types:

1. Viruses, Trojans, worms, etc

2. Spyware and Adware (what is often termed "non-viral" malware).

and how do i get rid of it?? thanks

I recommend that you go to Malke's Malware Removal site at
http://www.elephantboycomputers.com/page2.html#Removing_Malware and
follow the instructions there.
