What is a computer worm? How this self-spreading malware wreaks havoc |
Texte |
Worm definition
A worm is a form of malware (malicious software) that operates as a self-contained application and can transfer and copy itself from computer to computer.It's this ability to operate autonomously, without the need for a host file or to hijack code on the host computer, that distinguishes worms from other forms of malware.
