What is the function of the hairs worm?
The hairs worm, or horsehair worm, is a parasitic organism that primarily infects insects and other arthropods. Its main function is to manipulate the behavior of its host, often compelling it to seek water, where the worm can emerge and continue its life cycle. Once the host enters the water, the worm exits, leaving the host to die. This unique life cycle enables the hairs worm to reproduce and spread effectively within aquatic environments.

A virus is a program that is designed to spread from file to file on a single PC, it does not intentionally try to move to another PC, and it must replicate, and execute itself to be defined as a virus. A worm is designed to copy itself (intentionally move) from PC to PC, via networks, internet etc. A worm doesnt need a host file to move from system to system, whereas a virus does. So worms spread more rapidly then viruses. The word 'Virus' has become a common term a lot of people use to refer to worms and trojans too. Which is not exactly correct.
