It can really effect your computer. I got a worm virus on my Dell and it wiped my Windows Vista out and my computer won't start up. It attacks the hard drive. Every time you start your PC a "Seek Failure Diskette 0" pops up. So get rid of them if you get a warning for one.

What is a difference between a worm and a virus?

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.

What are the charateristics of a virus?

Strictly speaking, a virus adds its code to other executables to infect them (and thus spread), such that the virus code runs when the infected program(s) are run.
