A computer worm is a self-replicating malware that duplicates itself to spread to uninfected computers.
Viruses were generally thought of as a system-based problem, and worms were network-based.
Some examples of Worm:
- Sobig Worm (2003)
- SQL Slammer worm (2003)
- Red and Nimba (2001)
- Zotob (2005)
Worms act like a virus but also have the ability to travel without human action.
