What software does not require a user to assist in its propogation?
Standalone software that does not require a user to assist in its propagation is often called a computer virus or just a virus.However, in order for a virus to propagate (transmit a copy of itself) to another computer, there must be something on the second computer that allows the virus to be accepted and to run/execute. It could be a person not aware of the virus that allows it to be accepted. It also could be software on the destination computer that, by design or as a result of faulty programming, intentionally or unintentionally allows the virus program to enter the computer and become active.
What is standalone software?
Standalone software is any software that can run alone, without the support of or needing to interact with other software. In the simplest case, software is either classified as standalone or part of a package of interacting software components. Examples in this case standalone software might be a simple text editor vs. a package of interacting software might be Microsoft Office (i.e. Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Access, etc.) or a suite of tightly coupled distributed software running on different computers that interact over a network. Obviously in this case the standalone software is obviously still dependant on support from the operating system, installed I/O drivers, etc. for operation. In the extreme case, standalone software can run on a computer without an operating system. Diagnostic test software is frequently written as standalone software that runs without an operating system so that it has full control of the hardware being tested at all times. Between these cases there is a wide spectrum of things that can be called standalone software, depending on the degree of support needed from other software running on the computer.
