A computer worm is a type of malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers, often without any user intervention. Unlike viruses, worms can propagate through networks by exploiting vulnerabilities in software or operating systems. They can cause harm by consuming bandwidth, stealing data, or delivering additional malicious payloads. Worms can spread quickly and are often used in cyber attacks to disrupt systems and networks.
