Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A worm is a self-replicating program that spreads over a network, consuming bandwidth and resources as it goes. Unlike a virus, a worm does not need to attach to an existing program or file to spread. This makes it particularly effective in clogging up networks and slowing down individual computers. The other options - virus, denial-of-service attack, and Trojan horse - all describe malicious programs, but do not specifically replicate themselves in the same way as a worm.
