Each threat can attack a computer in different ways. Viruses replicate themselves and spread through infected files or email attachments, while worms exploit vulnerabilities in networks to propagate without user intervention. Trojans disguise themselves as legitimate software to trick users into installing them, allowing unauthorized access. Ransomware encrypts files and demands payment for their release, often spreading through phishing emails or compromised websites.
