A computer worm is a type of malicious software that self-replicates and spreads itself to other computers on the same network without any user interaction. It typically does this through exploiting vulnerabilities in operating systems or applications, and can cause damage to data or systems. Worms are distinct from viruses in that they can spread independently of users, whereas a virus requires a user to execute an infected file in order for the virus to spread.
