Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A worm is a type of virus that is specifically designed to spread over the Internet or other computer networks. Unlike other types of viruses, worms do not need to attach themselves to a software program or file in order to replicate and spread. They can spread on their own, infecting computers and networks by exploiting security vulnerabilities or by fooling users into clicking on malicious links or opening infected email attachments.
