What is a WORM and how is it different from a VIRUS?
Technically a VIRUS is computer code that attaches itself to another program and runs with the program. A WORM is a stand-alone computer program that runs on its own and that’s able to spread from one computer to another with little or no human interaction. Almost all E-mail viruses you’ve heard of are actually worms. However the use of the term “VIRUS” is becoming generic for both.
