What is a Computer Worm?
A computer worm is different to a computer virus but can still be potentially dangerous in destroying user data.
A computer worm is a program that is designed to replicate itself and then distribute to other computers across a network environment – this network could be several machines in your business, two or more computers at home or even a link across the internet!
The computer worm can not only slow down networks and run the risk of losing valuable PC data, they can also leave computers ‘open’ to attacks from other people, referred to as hackers.
