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.
A software virus attaches itself to a program or file and requires user action to spread, while a software worm can self-replicate and spread without user intervention. Viruses need a host file to infect, while worms can move across networks independently.
No, virus and worm have different meanings in the context of computer security. A virus is a piece of code that can replicate itself by attaching to a legitimate program, while a worm is a standalone program that can self-replicate and spread independently without needing to attach itself to another program.
A worm virus is a type of malware that self-replicates and spreads over computer networks, exploiting vulnerabilities in software to infect other devices. Once a device is infected, the worm can execute malicious actions like stealing data, causing damage, or creating backdoors for further attacks. Worm viruses can spread rapidly, causing widespread damage if not contained quickly.
We name Computer Viruses depending on their performance or attacking point. For example: ► I Love You Virus ► This is not actually a worm but in some parts, it is. This virus replicates itself and transfer from one device to another through email. Infected PC got emails with a Head: I Love You ► Blaster Worm ► One of the most dangerous worm on earth. This destroys different. Parts of an OS. Called blaster worm because it terminates S0 of a PC.
There are very few differences between the reproductive systems of the work and human. We are almost identical in reproductive organs and functions, just on a larger scale. The worm and human reproductive systems are almost identical; the Fallopian tubes of the male, are used to fertilize the urethra of the Female. The only difference between the two systems, (other then one being a much larger scale), is the transfer between the protective enzymes of the Fertosphygus Clomadia. Works have a much faster renthrough of the Dialemfrea. Hope this helps!
Do you mean Worm? A Worm is a type of virus. Just like in humans, the Flu is a type of virus. A worm is a specific type of virus, and refers to viruses which use exploits to enter a system.
The difference between CD ROM and WORM is that WORM allows to write once for the first time. Capacity is also a characteristic difference.
A software virus attaches itself to a program or file and requires user action to spread, while a software worm can self-replicate and spread without user intervention. Viruses need a host file to infect, while worms can move across networks independently.
1. what is a description & solution spyware & spam?. 2. what is a virus?. 3. what is a description & solution of Trojan horse?. 4. what is a description & solution of worm
A virus runs in a thread, as do all programs. The difference between a generic thread and a virus is that the thread may not be harmful, while the virus generally is.
the answer cannot be told hahaha
Usually the first action that a virus or worm performs is to replicate itself. This attempts to ensure that the virus or worm spreads before being detected by a payload.
a virus could also be a worm, trojan, etc.
A virus
no now orkut is safe From the worm & virus..
The difference between a common animal virus and a retrovirus is that a retrovirus only contains RNA while a common animal virus will have DNA or RNA.
Usually the first action that a virus or worm performs is to replicate itself. This attempts to ensure that the virus or worm spreads before being detected by a payload.
