Computer vandalism is a program that performs malicious function such as extracting a user's password or other data or erasing the hard disk. A vandal differs from a virus, which attaches itself to an existing executable program. The vandal is the full executing entity itself which can be downloaded from the internet in the form of an ActiveX control, Java applet, browser plug-in or e-mail attachment.
