Worm - this malicious program category is exploiting operating system vulnerabilities to spread itself. In its design worm is quite similar to a virus - considered even its sub-class. Unlike the viruses though worms can reproduce/duplicate and spread by itself - during this process worm does not require to attach itself to any existing program or executable. In other words it does not require any interaction for reproduction process - this capability makes worm especially dangerous as they can spread and travel across network having a devastating effect on both the host machines, servers as well consuming network bandwidth. More invasive worms target to tunnel into the host system and from within to allow code execution or remote control from the attacker. Some worms can as well include a viral component that infects executable files.
