- Worm
- A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program. The worm uses a network to send copies of itself to other nodes (computers on the network) and it may do so with or without any user intervention. The worm is introduced to a network when computers have poor or outdated security code. Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program. Worms almost always cause some harm to the network system, even if only by consuming bandwidth (network data packets, using the capacity making less room for desired information), whereas viruses almost always corrupt or modify files on a targeted computer.
