Detailed explanation-1: -A virus, on the other hand, is a type of malware. Its definition is limited only to programs or code that self-replicates or copies itself in order to spread to other devices or areas of the network. Based on the above definitions, the word malware can be used to refer to any type of virus.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is a worm? Worms are programs that replicate themselves from system to system without the use of a host file. This is in contrast to viruses, which requires the spreading of an infected host file.
Detailed explanation-3: -Virus-A computer virus is a malware program that, when executed, replicates by inserting copies of itself (possibly modified) into other computer programs, data files, or the boot sector of the hard drive; when this replication succeeds, the affected areas are then said to be “infected".
Detailed explanation-4: -A virus is malware that attaches to another program and, when executed-usually inadvertently by the user-replicates itself by modifying other computer programs and infecting them with its own bits of code. Worms are a type of malware similar to viruses. Like viruses, worms are self-replicating.
