Like a biological virus, a computer virus infects a host and uses the capabilities of its host to replicate. Once executed, a virus can cause damage by erasing or altering data or files, or by simply replicating until no disk space remains and the computer seizes to function. Viruses can be transmitted from one computer to another via email.

WORMS  Are computer programs designed to automatically make copies of themselves. Unlike viruses, a worm is self-executing, largely invisible to the computer users, and spreads from computer to computer over a network without any user action.

TROJAN HORSES  A program that appears to be useful or benign but actually conceals another program that is designed to be damaging, annoying, or humorous.
