A WORM drive is a type of CD writer. WORM is short for "Write Once, Read Many." So that just means it can write to CD-R (recordable) discs once, and that the resulting CDs can be used quite a few times (until scratched up or exposed to lots of UV light). That is different from CD-RW (rewritable) which means it can be written to a few times or so and read many times.

Another thing called a worm is similar to a virus but spreads over a network. If you have one in your computer, you would need an antivirus or other malware removal software to remove it. A worm can be used to launch denial of service attacks against other machines. The worm may take orders from an IRC channel and many infected machines could be told to attack a certain IP address and prevent it from using the internet.
