Definition of the Keyword Virus
A computer virus is a piece of program code that, like a biological virus, makes copies of itself by attaching itself to another program. The virus can waste the host's resources, and sometimes destroy or change files.
A computer worm is a computer program that makes lots of copies of itself, like a computer virus.
The main difference between the two is that a computer virus attaches itself to another computer program, but a worm works by itself.
