What is Worm ?

What is Worm ?

A worm,like a virus,is a program that is designed to harm the computer and destroy data stored on a computer.Worms are considered more harmful viruses because they rely less(or not a t all) on human behaviour in order to spread themselves from one computer to another.The computer worm is designed in order to spread themselves from one computer to another.The computer worm is designed to copy itself from one computer to another over a network.This means that computer worms spread itself to many computers over a network.This means that comptuer worms spread much more rapidly than computer viruses do.Worms use parts of an operating systems that are automatic and are ususally invisible to the user.It is common for worms to be noticed only when their uncontrolled replication consumes system resources,slowing or halting other tasks.
