A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program, similar to a computer virus but there is a difference. A virus attaches itself to, and becomes part of, another executable program; however, a worm is self-contained and does not need to be part of another program to propagate itself. They are often designed to exploit the file transmission capabilities found on many computers.

Please read, it won't take but a few moments of your time ...
