A computer worm is a self-replicating malware that duplicates itself to spread to uninfected computers.

Viruses were generally thought of as a system-based problem, and worms were network-based.

Some examples of Worm:

  • Sobig Worm (2003)
  • SQL Slammer worm (2003)
  • Red and Nimba (2001)
  • Zotob (2005)

Worms act like a virus but also have the ability to travel without human action.
