One Answer:

Clear idea = "record what is going on on the network and show it in a human readable form". You'll still need to know how network protocols work, otherwise even the "human readable form" will not mean a lot to you. What you probably need is a TCP/IP class of some sort, or get a good book (I can recommend "TCP/IP Illustrated" by Stevens.
"malformed packet" usually means that Wireshark could not decode the packet bytes. This happens if the packet is damaged or Wireshark tries to decode it as a protocol that is isn't. Not a virus, just a bad packet/wrong decoding.
