A computer worm is a type of malicious software (malware) that spreads copies of itself from one computer to another, without the need for user intervention. Unlike viruses, computer worms can spread themselves over networks and across the Internet, often automatically. They can cause damage to computers by overloading networks, corrupting files, and stealing data.
