Infection Vector
An infection vector refers to the origin of the malware. Did the malware arrive via an Internet connection or did it infect your computer following access of a file from a network share or from the connection of a USB storage device and so on.
Malware that infects your computer from an Internet connection usually arrives following access of a suspect email containing an infected attachment or link to an exploit server. Your computer may also be infected following access of a compromised website.
Your computer can also be infected following the downloading of files and programs from file sharing networks or unverified web resources.
