first off, I'd like to know what sites are generally used to send malware from (aka, possibly a download that gets emailed). If anybody knows any of these sites, it would be appreciated.

Also, I'm wondering how exactly malware works when passwords are concerned. And how malware can be removed.

Yes, I did google it, but the results I got are all very general, nothing as specific as what I need.

Thanks

All security software claims to prevent/ or remove malware. What kind of malware are you refering to?

and if you are trying to obtain a password for an email address when said email address has not and will not be used on the computer you yourself are using, how does it work?

*.Send that email a remote install keylogger, hope they download and execute it.
2. Use a stealer configured to steal the passwords stored on computer.
*.Make a phishing page and hope they fall for it.
You really can't hack into most email accounts.
