Key Difference Between Virus And Worms:

•Worms use Computer Networks to spread itself while Viruses spread to different systems through executable files.

•The virus tends to damage, destroy or alter the files of target computers, whereas, Worms does not modify any file but aims to harm the resources.

•The virus needs human action to replicate, whereas, Worms don’t.

•Worms are independent files that exist within the memory of an infected computer, whereas, Virus are executable files or attach themselves to other executable files to operate.

•The Virus needs hosts to spread while Worms do not require any host.

Virus corrupts or modifies the data on the target computer, whereas, Worms harm the network by consuming the bandwidth, deleting files or sending emails.
