WORMS
Worms are unable to replicate within a computer; instead, they
replicate by being passed from one computer to another, either
via a vulnerabilities in the system or via email. Like the computer
virus, they can do a great deal of damage to a computer they infect.
Except for being unable to replicate within a computer, they behave
much like viruses and can be every bit as damaging.
Also
like the viruses, you can only feel relatively safe if you use
a current update of a good anti-virus software, and if you are
very careful about what programs you download and what email attachments
you open. Next
