It is simple, A computer virus is a program or piece of code that is loaded onto your computer without

your knowledge and runs against your wishes. Viruses can also replicate themselves. All computer
viruses are man-made. A simple virus that can make a copy of itself over and over again is relatively easy
to produce. Even such a simple virus is dangerous because it will quickly use all available memory and
bring the system to a halt. An even more dangerous type of virus is one capable of transmitting itself
across networks and bypassing security systems

Worms use Computer Networks to spread itself while Viruses spread to different systems through
executable files.Spreading speed of a Worm is faster than a Virus.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.
