What is a Worm?
A computer worm is a self-replicating malware computer program. The uncontrolable replication consumes sytem resources slowing or in some cases even aborting other tasks.
It uses a computer network to send copies of itself to other.It uses network flaws to spread.
This is in contrast to viruses, which requires the spreading of an infected host file. Although worms generally exist inside of other files, often Word or Excel documents, there is a difference between how worms and viruses use the host file. Usually the worm will release a document that already has the "worm" macro inside the document. The entire document will travel from computer to computer, so the entire document should be considered the worm.
