A worm is a type of malicious software that is designed to replicate itself and spread across a network, while a Trojan is a type of malicious software that is designed to appear as legitimate software but perform destructive operations when activated. Unlike a Trojan, a worm does not require user interaction and can spread itself across a network on its own. A worm can also cause a denial-of-service attack and be used to download additional malicious software, while a Trojan typically does not have these capabilities.
