Malware is software with malicious intent or one that can be perceived as malicious by its user. This is done to annoy pc user, disrupt network or PC, monetary gain (ads, carding, etc) or stealing information.
Sometimes viruses are excluded from this term, though not always. This was done for both historical reasons (Viruses was prevalent group of malware for long), and technical reasons: viruses modify files infected thus are harder to repair and require specific tools.
