Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The virus that Ronald's computer was affected by is most likely a worm because it spreads rapidly through networks, causing damage like crashing servers. Adware, phishing mails, and spam are not viruses that cause such damage. A Trojan horse is also not likely since it requires user action, such as installing a program, whereas a worm can spread without user action.
