DIFFERENCE BETWEEN VIRUS AND WORMS...
★★===================================★★


1. Virus: 

●A computer virus is a program that is loaded on your computer without your knowledge and runs without your permission. 

●Almost all viruses are attached to an executable file, which means the virus may exist on a system but will not be active or able to spread until a user runs or opens the malicious file or program.

●Viruses spread when the software or document they are attached to is transferredfrom one computer to another using the network, a disk, file sharing, or infected e-mail attachments.

2.Worms: 

●Computer worms are similar to viruses in that they replicate functional copies of themselves and can cause the same type of damage.
But worms are standalone software and do not require a host program or human help to propagate.

●Worms typically exploit vulnerabilities(security loopholes) in operating systems and spread through e-mail or other file transmission capabilities found on networked computers.

●Power of a worm depends on its replication speed. Due to the copying nature of a worm and its capability to travel it consumes too much system resources, network resources and Bandwidth.
