Detailed explanation-1: -Unlike viruses, worms can replicate and spread without any human activation. While a worm might use a file or program to sneak onto your computer, once it’s in your system, it can spread without the host file and without a human interacting with it at all.
Detailed explanation-2: -Worms are transmitted through vulnerabilities in software. They could also be sent through email attachments or within instant messages or spam emails. After a file is opened, it may link the user to a malicious website or it could download the worm to the user’s device automatically.
