What Is A Program That Runs Independently Of Other Software And Travels Between Computers And Across Networks?

A computer worm is a single piece of malicious software that may be found on computers and is designed to duplicate itself in order to infect other systems. It often propagates over computer networks, banking on security flaws in the machines it infects in order to get access to their systems. It will use this computer as a host to spread itself to other computers and infect them.
