Detailed explanation-1: -Once malware is running in your computer’s memory it can be harder to remove. The malware is often created with what we call “persistence” which means that if it’s running and sees that its files have been deleted or quarantined by security software, the malware will attempt to re-write the files to your drive.
Detailed explanation-2: -Can RAM get malware? Usually, malware doesn’t infect RAM because RAM clears every time a computer reboots. But some malware like PoS malware can target point-of-sales payment terminals and card readers to breach payment data.
Detailed explanation-3: -A memory-resident virus (or simply “resident virus") installs itself as part of the operating system when executed, after which it remains in RAM from the time the computer is booted up to when it is shut down.
