I get a monthly newsletter an it lists the latest Virus's detected, an places them within unique catagories by 'type', but i dont know what each type means, so does anybody here know what each type means?....

the 'types' are -
Win32; Win95; Joke; Bat; VBS; JS; IRC; Backdoor; DOS-Macro; Trojan; Malware; Stealth; Logic Bomb; SWF; INF; Dropper; Constructor; Nuker; Spammer; Flooder; Exploit; DDos; Cracker; SH; CorelScript; WinReg; Perl; worm.
