What is a compiled program?
As we use it here, the term denotes a stand-alone program generated by a compiler rather than an interpreter: that is, one that can run without the development platform that generated it being present. As computer scientists use the terms, the differences between a compiler and an interpreter are considerably more complex, but the fine detail isn’t really important in terms of this malware – for an end user, at any rate.
