A worm is a standalone computer program that can replicate itself and spread through a computer network, without requiring another program to spread. A virus requires a host program to spread, a logic bomb is a code inserted into a program that triggers a malicious action at a specific time or event, and a Trojan horse is a program that appears to be harmless but contains hidden malicious code that can be activated later.
