Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A worm is a type of computer program that spreads through a computer network and replicates itself. As it infects more computers, the program grows in size, consuming more and more resources, and causing damage to the network. Unlike viruses, worms do not need to attach themselves to a host file or program, and can operate independently. Trojans and logic bombs are also types of malicious software, but they do not exhibit the same self-replicating behavior as worms.
