A worm just like a virus is a small piece of software.
However worms rather than relying on an external program to function, will run themselves over computer networks and security holes to spread. The worm will scan the network from it’s host computer until it finds another computer that it can attach itself to. It will then continue this process to replicate. Because this type of infection runs by itself it can have devastating impacts.
The Mydoom worm is estimated to have infected over a quarter million computers in a single day when it first launched back in March 1999.
Are those the same worms as from the game Worms World Party?
