Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A worm is a self-replicating program that spreads through computer networks and can cause significant damage by using up system resources and clogging networks. Unlike a virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program to spread, and it can run independently. A denial-of-service attack and a Trojan horse are not self-replicating programs, and they have different methods of causing damage.
