whats the difference between a worm and a virus ??

Question

{in computers}

Answer 1

a worm is hidden inside a file and once inside will spread among you computer taking up file space and eventually causing it to slow down and possibly corrupt your hard disk

a virus will try to pass on to as many connected computers as it can before spreading inside your computer and actively damaging files and disk partitions

both are written by idiots trying to prove how much cleverer than the rest of us they are by bringing the daily lives of people to a grinding halt.

if these guys were inventing a spreading biological viruses like HIV I doubt they'd be allowed to hold conventions but they are just as dangerous

Answer 2

a worm you find in the ground, a virus you find in your body.

OR

A computer worm is a self-replicating computer program similar to a computer virus. A virus attaches itself to, and becomes part of, another executable program; however, a worm is self-contained and does not need to be part of another program to propagate itself. They are often designed to exploit the file transmission capabilities found on many computers. The main difference between a computer virus and a worm is that a virus cannot propagate by itself whereas worms can. A worm uses a network to send copies of itself to other systems and it does so without any intervention. In general, worms harm the network and consume bandwidth, whereas viruses infect or corrupt files on a targeted computer. Viruses generally do not affect network performance, as their malicious activities are mostly confined within the target computer itself.
