Difference Between Viruses, Worms and Trojans
why does his worms and trojan horses are all malicious programs that can causedamage to your computer but there are differences among these what is a wireless computer virus and I just said to a program or file enabling it to spread from one computer to another leaving infections as it travels like a human riders a computer - can range in severity something only cause mildly annoying effects while others can damage your hardware software or files almost all is attached to an executable file which means the virus may exist on your computer but it actually cannot infect your computer and unless you run your computer but it actually cannot infect your computer and unless you run are open the malicious program it is important to note that virus cannot spend without a human action such as turning the intricate program so what is a worm a worm is similar to a computer virus by design and is considered to be a subclass of Fighters once spread from computer to computer but unlike virus it has the capability to travel without any human action the biggest danger with the worm is its capability to duplicate itself on your system so rather than your computer sending out a single worm it could send out hundreds or thousands of copies of itself creating a huge devastating effect one example would be for a while to send out a copy of itself to everyone listed in your email address book then the woman applicator and cents itself out to everyone listed in each of the receivers address book and the manifest continues on down the line due to the copy nature of a worm and its capability to travel across networks the end result and most pieces that the form consumes too much system memory our network bandwidth causing the web servers Network Star Wars and the individual computers to stop responding so what is a Trojan horse the Trojan horse at four strands will appear to be a useful software but it was actually do damage one start a run on your computer those on the receiving end of the Trojan horse are usually tricked into moving them because they appear to be receiving legitimate software or files from a legitimate source some questions are designed to be a nine like changing your next job adding to the reactive text icons are they can cause this damage by reading 5 are destroying information on your system versions and also known to create a back door on your computer that gives malicious users access to your system possibly allowing confidential our personal information to be compromised and like wireless and worms Trojans do not reproduce by infecting other files not to the self-replicating so that's all about viruses worms and trojans
