Topic Content:

  • Meaning of Computer Worm
  • Examples of Computer Worm

A computer worm is a standalone malicious computer program (malware), that replicates itself in order to spread to other computers. Oftentimes, it uses a computer network to spread itself, relying on security failures on the target computer to access it. Unlike a computer virus, it does not need to attach itself to an existing program. Worms can cause harm to the network by consuming bandwidth, whereas viruses almost always corrupt, or modify files, on a targeted computer.
