What are the types of computer viruses?

Question

Don't tell me Trojans, Spams, worms,..etc

i need the scientific names please

Answer 1

viruses writing isn't a science, there are no scientific names.

trojans, worms, viruses, spyware, adware are all separate entities and those are the 'types' of malware in existence.

spam is not a computer virus, nor malware, it's simply an unsolicited email.

if you mean what are the names of viruses, see here:
