A virus is a malicious code that copies and spreads itself, often unnoticed until the damage is done. Some viruses are a serious threat, deleting or deliberately changing files on their way, while some viruses can do something seemingly harmless, like playing a piece of music. However, all viruses are dangerous due to the basic ability of multiplying – even a simple virus can take up all the computer memory in an instant, and cause a breakdown.
A worm is a subcategory of virus which, unlike a normal virus, does not need a "carrier" object to attach to; it sends itself to other computers self-contained, usually via e-mail, and as a result often overloads e-mail servers and network systems.
Unlike spyware, which is a somewhat complicated malware category, a virus is always harmful and unwanted
