Based on the description provided, the type of malware that Rashaad's computer has is most likely a virus. A virus attaches itself to other files or programs and spreads to different parts of the computer, which matches what you've described. Ransomware typically locks files and demands payment, spyware is used for collecting information, and a trojan disguises itself as legitimate software but does not inherently spread like a virus does.
