A worm is similar to a virus by design and is considered to be a sub-class of a virus. Worms spread from computer to computer, but unlike a virus, it has the capability to travel without any human action. A worm takes advantage of file or information transport features on your system, which is what allows it to travel unaided.
A Trojan Horse is full of as much trickery as the mythological Trojan Horse it was named after. The Trojan Horse, at first glance will appear to be useful software but will actually do damage once installed or run on your computer. Those on the receiving end of a Trojan Horse are usually tricked into opening them because they appear to be receiving legitimate software or files from a legitimate source.

Solution :
Trojan horse is a program that pretends to be useful application but they always intended to do something destructive. It claims to rid your computer of viruses but instead introduces viruses onto your computer.
A computer worm is a standalone malware computer program that replicates itself in order to spread to other computers across the network connections. Worms take up space and slows down the computer by creating self-replicating copies.
