Simply stated, a virus, Trojan or worm is a small program written to cause
harm to one or more computers or networks. A Virus, Worm or Trojan can also be
designed to retrieve information from your computer to be delivered to an
attacker for future use. For example credit card information, passwords,
and security access codes.
More specifically, a virus is a parasitic program designed to enter a person’s
computer clandestinely. The virus attaches itself to files or boot sectors
and is self-replicating.
A Trojan (or Trojan horse) is a malicious program that pretends to be a benign
application. It is designed to cause your computer to do something that is
unexpected. Since it does not spread (not self-replicating) it is not really a
virus.
A worm is a parasitic program designed to replicate itself on your computer
and then spread to other computers via email (through your address book) or
an IRC (chat program). Worms are designed by coders for advertising agencies
to gain lists of legitimate email addresses for use in marketing. They can
also be designed to slow down networks, thus giving other competitors an edge
in their fields. Though this is not always the case, mostly they are just
designed to create TCP/IP & SMTP chaos.
Also, some unscrupulous software venders install third party programs on
your computer without your permission. Called "Spyware", these are usually designed to deliver
advertising and track your computer usage habits.
