Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A computer worm duplicates itself to spread to uninfected computers. It often does this by exploiting parts of an operating system that are automatic and invisible to the user. Typically, a user only notices a worm when its uncontrolled replication consumes system resources and slows or halts other tasks.
Detailed explanation-2: -It runs and spreads itself when the program is opened. This can cause the virus to infect other programs on the same computer, as well as infect other computers when the infected program is shared. A worm is similar to a virus, except that it does not need a program in order to run.
