Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The program described is a worm, which is a self-replicating program that spreads through a network by exploiting vulnerabilities or using social engineering tactics. Unlike viruses, worms do not need to attach themselves to a host file to infect a system, and they can spread quickly by sending copies of themselves to all contacts in an infected computer's address book. Trojan horses, on the other hand, are programs that appear benign but contain hidden malicious code that can harm a system. Bot programs are a type of malware that infects a computer to create a network of infected systems that can be controlled remotely by the attacker. Macro viruses are a type of virus that infects macro-enabled documents and spreads by infecting other documents that are opened on the same computer.
